I came across a strange problem today. I am updating several
machines and three machines developed this strange emerge issue:
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] yes

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).

can you change python version with eselect?
No - I did check that before posting. I don't have a python option in
eselect. That is what made me think python is completely broken.

Usage: eselect <global options> <module name> <module options>
Global options:
--brief Make output shorter
--colour=<yes|no|auto> Enable or disable colour output (default
'auto')
