`emerge --resume --skipfirst` is necessary if you don't use --keep-going
y, a package fails to build and you want to manually resume the actual
emerge. Not using --skipfirst wouldn't make much sense, because the
broken package will fail to build again anyway.

Maybe Dales suggestion would work here. In this case you shouldn't use
--skipfirst after fixing the reasons why the package failed to build.

If you run `emerge -e @world` e.g. and get a power failure then you
shouldn't use --skipfirst because then you want to build the package
which was currently built during the power failure again.

If you want to do have emerge doing a --resume --skipfirst
automatically then you should use --keep-going y in the original emerge
command like `emerge -e --keep-going y @world` or `emerge -uDN
--keep-going y @world`.
