Haha, just got frustrated with how much junk is on my machine and 
globally disabled perl, python, ruby, and a bunch of other stuff. Bad 
times ensued ;).

But really, as long as you're fine with looking at failed builds to see 
what went wrong, you should be fine. You can set PORT_LOGDIR in 
make.conf to send all build logs into a location (mine is 
/var/log/portage) so that all logs get saved automatically, which I 
find helpful.
