I'll repeat the advice I was given in this list sometime around last
Christmas (but can't find the thread now): you're bound to find some
pesky application which is only available in 32bit and then you'll
curse for having to reinstall.
If anything, I'll install a VM to run it in.
Have you tried setting -j1 and trying emerging it once more?
I *ALWAYS* have -j1 in /etc/make.conf. Anyways, it turned out to be
something completely different. Whilst doing additional Google
searching, I stumbled across "Foolproof Gentoo World Update Build Order"
at http://foxpa.ws/tag/package-keywords/ and it was proof against this
fool, too<G>. My problem was that the Gentoo install snapshot put in
gcc-4.3.4, and "emerge --update world" pulled in gcc-4.4.3-r2. So far,
so good. But after the first build, I forgot to gcc-config over to
4.4.3-r2 ... dohhhhhhh.
Anyhow, after switching over, rebuilding gcc-4.4.3-r2, exiting,
logging back in, unmerging gcc-4.3.4, and rebuilding glibc, I
successfully emerged system and world. I'm now emerging xorg-x11.

Why on earth will xorg-x11 *NOT* build if I mask out various arabic,
cyrillic, ethiopic, and jis fonts? My PC is *NOT* intended to be a
kiosk machine at UN headquarters fer-cryin-out-loud.

For future reference, after you switch gcc, you should run env-update
and source /etc/profile. Then you don't have to log out and back in
again. One could argue that one is easier than the other tho. ;-)
Depends on the length of the password I guess.
