I don't think it's normal.
Maybe there is a loop in compiling.
Please check, if it's still running, if there is some piece of code that repeats continuously.
Post your emerge --info output

I am trying to emerge sys-fs/device-mapper on an older piece of
hardware (AMD Duron 800, with 512Mb of Ram). The package has been
compiling for something like 8 hours already. Is this normal? It
seems like an awfully long time to me. As a comparison, I was able to
compile the kernel in about 15 minutes. If this isn't normal, any
ideas as to what the problem could be. I didn't see anything on
bugs.gentoo.org.
Thanks,
James
In case it matters my make.conf looks like this:
CFLAGS="-mtune=athlon -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
USE="-arts -ipv6 apache2 mysql pam ssl xml xml2 -gnome -gtk alsa oss
nvidia -cups mmx -ldap -kde -qt -kde nptl nptlonly"
