29 Ouch! Did you attempt to emerge busybox? If that doesn't work my best
30 suggestion at this point and with the information available is to grab the
31 coreutils-6.4 binpkg at [1], put it in /usr/portage/packages/All/ and emerge
32 it with --usebinpkgonly...
33
34 As a side note given the age of your portage you may need information
35 available at [2] when you've gotten past this problem...
