I ran it, and it doesn't give any output at all. Ouch! Did you attempt to emerge busybox? If that doesn't work my best suggestion at this point and with the information available is to grab the coreutils-6.4 binpkg at [1], put it in /usr/portage/packages/All/ and emerge it with --usebinpkgonly... As a side note given the age of your portage you may need information available at [2] when you've gotten past this problem...
