I've taken a look at the bug that is mentioned in the error and there were
several things mentioned that are supposed to fix this:

        1. disable auditd (if you have it running) - this was the newest (from 
'14)
           So if you have it installed run /etc/init.d/auditd stop
        2. reemerge several packages because python may have issues:
           - sync your tree
           - emerge portage (which will likely pull in some python stuff if the 
box
                 wasn't updated for some time)
          (- optional: run eselect python and select a sane version and run 
python
          updater - this wasn't mentioned but may make sense nonetheless)
           - emerge linux-headers
           - emerge glibc (hopefully with success this time)
