Use emerge --resume --skipfirst to continue where you were, skipping
this package.
Or simply emerge --keep-going <package>, this will continue
automatically even if a package fails.
To compile the package that faileed, there is often a bug report on
bugs.gentoo.org already. Just google for the error message, and if
you're lucky, you will find the solution. If not, just open a new bug
report :)

Oh, and please open a new thread the next time. This one appears under
the openrc thread.
