You need more ram, swap space or maybe drive space for the portage work 
directory.  Basically, it's running out of space somewhere.  Look at 
"top" maybe and see what it says then "df" to see if a partition is full 
or really close to it.  Keep in mind, usage may drop after it fails and 
does a little cleaning up.

Hope that helps.
