When I got up, the emerge had stopped at package 4 of 10 (howl), with the error you note. Fortunately, the reason I had started the emerge so late-- the upgrade to xorg-- had at least completed. And since the emerge had stopped, the cron job had run. I then ran emerge --resume (in the hopes that the sync had fixed the error), and sure enough, howl emerged without problems (as did the rest of the sync, except mc, which seems to dislike the samba use flag all of a sudden. But that's a different issue, and documented on b.g.o, so easily solved). So I could only think that the sync fixed it-- maybe your mirrors take a little longer to update than mine did.
