I never clear cache, even after an emerge and all that, although my system never has more than about a week's uptime before it locks up with something. What's pulling in your abseil? Can you temporarily delete it from world, or --exclude it? My laptop is now refusing to build firefox and thunderbird, I'm wondering whether I'm going to have to find my desktop settings and exclude rust ... :-( Cheers, Wol
