First you have to use the tools, such as equery to discern
hints as to your compilation issue(s).
Then try things like this:
emerge dev-util/lafilefixer ; lafilefixer --justfixit
revdep-rebuild -- --keep-going
Lafilefixer is on the way to being deprecated so
make sure you have recently sync the system and performed
updates to all of your software.
Other times package get orphaned and leave fragments of files
around. Read up on eclean.
