Tried just

$ emerge imagemagick

and got

$ "This compiler version is unable to build binaries ..." I must admit - 
that happened before too.

Rules for Writers:
        Avoid run-on sentences they are hard to read.  Don't use no double
negatives.  Use the semicolon properly, always use it where it is 
appropriate;
and never where it isn't.  Reserve the apostrophe for it's proper use 
and
omit it when its not needed.  No sentence fragments. Avoid commas, that 
are
unnecessary.  Eschew dialect, irregardless.  And don't start a sentence 
with
a conjunction.  Hyphenate between sy-llables and avoid un-necessary 
hyphens.
Write all adverbial forms correct.  Don't use contractions in formal 
writing.
Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided.  It is 
incumbent on
us to avoid archaisms.  Steer clear of incorrect forms of verbs that 
have
snuck in the language.  Never, ever use repetitive redundancies.  If 
I've
told you once, I've told you a thousand times, resist hyperbole.  Also,
avoid awkward or affected alliteration.  Don't string too many 
prepositional
phrases together unless you are walking through the valley of the shadow 
of
death.  "Avoid overuse of 'quotation "marks."'"
