It took a couple days, but after "resuming" the emerge three times, it
finished.  The three failures were grub:0, matplotlib, and crrcsim.

Each time the failed package was around 5th on the list when I did a
resume.  And, each time emerge insisted on rebuilding gcc and glibc
first.  [I don't remember what else preceded the failed packages when
I did the resumes.]

I think I'll postpone upgrading to profile 17 on my "real work"
computers where I have a lot more packages installed.
