I came across a strange problem today. I am updating several machines

I cannot do anything with emerge. It will still calculate dependencies
but as soon as it goes to do pre-merge checks or actually build a
package it segfaults.
I have a hard time believing this to be a hardware or memory fault as
it appeared on three separate machines while upgrading.
Could this be a python upgrade failure?

Can you please post the last lines of the file /tmp/straceoutput
resulting of the command:
strace -f -o /tmp/straceoutput emerge blablabla??
Unfortunately, that's not possible, I don't have strace and can't emerge
anything:
# emerge strace
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 0.65 s (backtrack: 0/20).
