I don't -O3 can ever be considered "standard". Also you say you don't 
think that's it, then admit -O3 changes the code substantially. I'm 
having horrible visions that you are taking a shotgun approach to 
fault-finding

What you wrote doesn't make sense. depscan.sh is installed by baselayout 
and mktemp is installed by coreutils. You have depscan.sh Which package 
is blocking which? You don't have to guess which one, portage will tell 
you when an emerge fails.

You really should supply more information so that we can help you. You 
have now posted 4 times on this thread, and have not supplied any 
relevant info at all apart from your arch is ~amd64 and you have a 
problem. So let's do this the right way which involves you supplying 
the following:

- when your system "broke twice", what exactly does this mean? What no 
longer works, and how does the system's behaviour differ from what you 
expect?
- relevant logs
- command(s) run before the problem manifests
- console output that demonstrates a problem
