25 This should help. From man emerge:
26
27 --keep-going [ y | n ]
28 Continue as much as possible after an error. When an error occurs,
29 dependencies are recalculated for remaining packages and any with
30 unsatisfied dependencies are automatically dropped. Also see the
31 related --skipfirst option.
32
33 You can also add that to make.conf if you want that all the time. There
34 are times when emerge can't continue but if it can, it will.
