has precompiled packages for the major arches and profiles. You could try to
replace just pambase, pam, python, etc. -- whatever's giving you trouble.
This was not my first recommendation because I've managed to break e.g.
`tar` and `cp` before in the attempt at which point you have two rescues to
attempt.
The errors I'm getting seem to be complaining about emerging ebuilds
with a higher EAPI number than my portage has. Should I just install
the latest portage binary package? If so, how should I do that?
All of those tinderbox tarballs are just archives to be extracted in /.
For portage specifically, I'd follow the guide that Dale posted, since
it takes care not to clobber your configs.
