Hi,
On 'gentoo-portage-dev' ML there are such patch (for portage-2.1_preX)
plus in portage there's a package:
* dev-util/confcache
Available versions: 0.3.3 0.4 0.4.1
Installed: 0.4.1
Homepage: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ferringb/confcache
Description: global autoconf cache manager
Both are working for me for 2-3 weeks w/o problems.
Check the homepage/link in the package above.
