It causes emerge to automatically > continue with what it can after a failed build. --keep-going is in EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS so the problem is only when that fails for whatever reason, --resume (with or without --skip-first) always fails too. Usually a package that I already know is broken and am working on but is already installed wants to be rebuilt will trigger this. The problem is portage doesn't seem to care whether any packages in the current resume list actually depend on the failing package and this can prevent important installations from finishing.
