Unfortunately it seems I cannon emerge nodejs due
to this error:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.2.0/../../../../
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
 failed to set dynamic section sizes: memory exhausted

I tried to stop every process except gettys and the login,
still the same, no MAKEOPTS (i.e. no paralell builds) and
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs 1 ...

The emerge line is:

[ebuild     U ] net-libs/nodejs-18.3.0 [14.19.0]
 USE="debug icu npm snapshot ssl system-icu system-ssl
 -doc* -inspector -lto -pax-kernel -systemtap -test"
 CPU_FLAGS_X86="sse2" 

Would dropping some use flags help ?
I'm generally not interested in nodejs as such,
it's just that firefox depends on it.

///

When emergings with --skipfirst (i.e. skip nodejs),
I get:
emerge: It seems we have nothing to resume...

Checking dependancies:
# emerge -vc net-libs/nodejs

Calculating dependencies  .... done!
  net-libs/nodejs-14.19.0 pulled in by:
    www-client/firefox-91.9.0 requires >=net-libs/nodejs-10.23.1

So, why don't emerge build the other 100'ish packages ?
Last time I did emerge nodejs, must I run emerge @world
and let that fail first ?

I'm not familiar with nodejs in particular, but dropping the debug
USE-flag will probably reduce the amount of memory it needs somewhat.
You could also add more swap, or look into zswap¹ or zram².

Yes, --resume will always try to resume the last command that failed,
as far as i know.

Just tried that, emerge world and then killing g++ once the build for
nodejs started and "nodejs" failed, but emerge didn't continue with
the next one (using --keep-going), so why is nodejs blocking everything 
else ???

So I removed firefox from world, now the rest is building. I'll solve
the firefox/nodejs thing later.

I think you might also want to use --skip-first, which should then also  
skip firefox due to the missing dependency.  You could also use  
--exclude firefox, to save editing your world file.

--keep-going would do what you want, portage tries to emerge whatever
else it can from the list after a failure. But that still means waiting
for nodejs to fail, so I would ass "--exclude nodejs" to your emerge
world command to get everything else sorted, then come back to deal with
nodejs later.

Dropping debug and adding swap solved it, thanks.

How much swap have you? Can you increase it? Yes, swapping is slow, but at 
least it does the job.
