Well, here is this:

[-P-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.63:0
[-P-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha173:0
[IP-] [  ] sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha174:0

This is the portage update info.  I use genlop -t to do this.  I know
there is a better way but can't remember the command.  lol  I think it
was one of the q thingys. 

     Fri Apr  5 12:49:29 2013 >>> sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha171
       merge time: 27 seconds.

     Sat Apr  6 11:00:10 2013 >>> sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha171
       merge time: 26 seconds.

     Mon Apr 15 08:33:49 2013 >>> sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha173
       merge time: 31 seconds.

     Mon May  6 22:36:15 2013 >>> sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha174
       merge time: 30 seconds.


Based on that, I would say it started about the time *173 hit.  I can't
go back to the *171 since it is no longer in the tree. 

I'm not sure I know enough about debugging to help much but it sure is
weird.  Should have known something weird like this would hit me.  :/

I'm sort of pretty active on this thing right now since I do some
volunteer mod work on a site.  I'd rather not get myself to a spot where
my rig aini't working.  I'm not even doing upgrades like I used to. 
Well, not as often anyway.  I just have to plan stuff to make sure I'm
up and running. 

I checked for roach reports and didn't see this reported anywhere.  I
wonder if a USE flag is triggering this?  This is interesting:

root@fireball / # emerge -pv =sys-devel/gcc-4.4.7 =sys-devel/gcc-4.5.4
=sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3

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

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled

sys-devel/gcc:4.6

  (sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)

  (sys-devel/gcc-4.6.3::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    sys-devel/gcc[fortran,openmp?] required by
(virtual/fortran-0::gentoo, installed)
    >=sys-devel/gcc-4.2[cxx] required by
(sci-geosciences/googleearth-6.2.2.6613::gentoo, installed)


!!! Enabling --newuse and --update might solve this conflict.
!!! If not, it might help emerge to give a more specific suggestion.

root@fireball / #

I may need to make sense of this now.  May not be the problem but
still.  I don't have anything related to gcc in package.use either.  I'm
not sure about the USE flag being changed on two but not the other. 
When I logoff as mod, I'm going to try to recompile that older version. 

Thoughts?  Could that be the cause?
