The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.

As the message says, you might have a hardware problem (usually bad RAM
or CPU).
My experience has been that it NEVER is a hardware problem. The next
emerge of the same package always completes successfully.
That behaviour usually indicates a hardware problem. Random unexplainable
segfaults that you can't reproduce.
Let's take a poll.
1. Have you seen this error message in an emerge?
2. Have you subsequently identified a hardware problem, fixed the
hardware problem, and have not seen the message since?
3. Have you re-run the emerge and not seen the message in a while
(please indicate how long "a while" is.)
For me, the answers are:
1. Yes
2. No
3. Yes (~months)
BTW, do you know portage/emerge/make/whatever knows that the problem
is not reproducible?
