I tried the above steps that you recommended, but no luck.

However, I noticed that your compiler version is much newer than mine. I 
thought that I had upgraded, but apparently not. So, I upgraded the compiler 
& its dependencies, & after that, I was able to update portage. In fact, I 
was finally able to compile skipstone, which I had been waiting for, for 
quite a while.

Thank you, for all of your help.
