I am still fighting this.  Yes, I've been fighting it since March.

emerge -e world

fails with this error.  I've done it at least a half dozen times.  emerge -e 
world starts out with over 1400 packages.  When webkitgtk fails, this is 
what's left:

root@kushiel /etc/conf.d # emerge --ask --resume

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

Any suggesting other than format the hard drive and start over greatly 
appreciated, because I've tried everything else I can think of or find 
suggested online.
