You will find this is not the only error to give such problems. I have been unsuccessfully attempting to create a gentoo system for over a week - many faults. I believe it is too close to the cutting edge with its standard download distribution. Even after I got a system quasi-working on another box (which I am using now), emerging new applications broke old ones (e.g., sound).
I too am about ready to revert to a distribution which is more reliable - Linux From Scratch. Sorry I can not aid you with your problem.
