I cannot access your buildgrublog.txt of 15 May (Error 403)

It seems that you may have missed something in your toolchain.

I noticed in your configgrublog.txt this error:

  ./configure: line 3307: ccache: command not found

So, somewhere ccache is defined to be used, but you perhaps have not emerged 
dev-util/ccache?

Emerge it with a LiveCD, configure it, reboot and see if your system emerges 
better now.

Or,

set -ccache in FEATURES in your /etc/make.conf and try again.

BTW, if you originally had ccache working and left stales files under 
/var/tmp/ccache/*  you better delete these first.

I recall this discussed before.  Some pages do not have the correct CSS to 
define a max page width which for todays browsers should typically be 1024.  
Could be caused by the CMS used or some error in coding by the webmaster.  Not 
sure if a bug on this has been filled before.  Worth checking the M/L archives 
to see what was the conclusion.  Also worth trying loading just the frame to 
see if it can show up correctly.
