While emerging kde, I got the following error message:
----------

make[4]: Leaving directory "/var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1/work/xc/config/pswrap"

I am going to try to restart emerge kde hope I don't get the error again.

EDIT: Tried it again, got the same error. Tried emerge sync, then emerge kde, and still got the error.

Was there a listing after the error message that included the path/name of a log file?

I just (an hour ago) finished the gentoo install on my new amd64 system. First time I tried to bootstrap in Stage 1 I kept getting an error. Went to the log file that was listed after the error message and found out exactly what had caused the crash (I had downloaded the stage1 file for the x86 architecture and was trying to build the compilers using x86_64 settings in my /etc/make.conf file)

Anyway, once I corrected what had caused the crash things went much more smoothly.

Hope this gives you a place to start.

The actual error occured above what you have there. Any way you could post it?
 
It's solved, there is a known issue with the latest version of xorg not building flex first which xorg needs to build correctly. I've had the same problem on 3 other machines. This needs to be fixed by the gentoo devs.
