Have you checked the obvious?
Do you have gigabytes of free space on the volume housing /var/tmp/portage?
Portage leaves its temporary workspace on failure. You have had a lot of
falures lately.
Sufficient free space on / and /usr?
Hardware problems?
cpu overheating - is the cpu fan running?
general overheating? all fans running?
Memory problems? perhaps reseat the memory modules.
I/O errors?
Corrupted file system? Try fsck.
