Pardon me if I am wrong, but I want this too, and to me the simplest
analogy is to make.  If some targets fail, make keeps on building the
ones it can, until it is left with no buildable targets.  I too have
developed a wrapper using --resume --skipfirst, but that feels like a
kluge.  What I would like is an emerge option to generate a Makefile
for output (-M looks available on a quick man check).  Then instead of
emerge -ptuvDN, I would use -MtuvDN, and run make at my leisure.  I am
incredibly naive about the inner workings of portage, but since it has
dependencies, it does not seem entirely farfetched to generate a Makefile.
