I don't know if this is the problem or not but it may be worth looking
into the python 2.7 target requirement.  The devs are actively removing
python 2.7 support since it is reaching its end of life.  It could
possibly be causing this problem but even if it isn't, you need to
prepare for python 2.7 to be gone.

Additional note, you may use a script or something so this may not
matter.  Some of the options/settings you use can be set in make.conf. 
Examples from my make.conf:


PORTAGE_NICENESS=5
PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND="ionice -c 3 -p \${PID}"
FEATURES="-usersync userpriv usersandbox buildpkg sandbox parallel-fetch"
MAKEOPTS="-j9"
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y --backtrack=100 --keep-going -v -j5
--quiet-build=n -1 --unordered-display"


Having default settings in make.conf saves you from having to remember
them all since it uses them automatically.  Just a thought.

Hope that helps.
