I put an entry into etc/portage/package.mask denying 3.2_p33 and
higher. It helped!

I then ran into a problem with coreutils, where the ebuild wants
to unpack coreutils-6.10.tar.lzma. So I thought, better emerge the
"lzma" utility first. Inserting "emerge --oneshot lzma" just before
emerging coreutils did not solve it though; lzma itself is emerged
nicely (no depenencies pulled in). But it does not make the tar.lzma
file possible to unpack, here is what goes in the console log:

 * checking ebuild checksums ;-) ...                         [ ok ]
 * checking auxfile checksums ;-) ...                        [ ok ]
 * checking miscfile checksums ;-) ...                       [ ok ]
 * checking coreutils-6.10.tar.lzma ;-) ...                  [ ok ]
 * checking coreutils-6.10-patches-1.1.tar.bz2 ;-) ...       [ ok ]
