7 Hi Thanasis,
8
9 this message is from emerge /portage:
10 grep -r "alarm signal" /usr/lib64/portage/*
11 Binary file /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.pyo matches
12 Binary file /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.pyc matches
13 /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/exception.py: raise
14 AlarmSignal("alarm signal",
15
16 This one matches your one minute:
17 /usr/lib64/portage/pym/portage/elog/mod_mail_summary.py:
18 AlarmSignal.register(60)
19
20 Look like a timeout during mail sending to me. You have probably elog
21 mail sending configured in make.conf and your mailserver is borked.

23 HTH,
