Tried it. Kept dying and leaving a number of packages that I just
couldn't build.
You can resume building by using "emerge --resume". If a package fails
to build you can skip it with "emerge --resume --skipfirst".
I know this, but in the case of the libexpat.so.0 problem I got loads
of packages which THEN couldn't compile because they depended upon the
first one. And the older versions no longer worked because they were
missing libexpat.so.0.
