Nice job on converting each switch to it's equivalent human readable format!
I used Gentoo for two decades or so. Now using Void Linux as I have little time for compiling. One item that might be noteworthy for those running Gentoo, or a compiled from source distribution, is including reporting the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS compiler options utilized for compiling/linking the code. Sometimes optimizations will cause self-compiled programs surface bugs not commonly seen, when otherwise using the more commonly used CFLAGS/LDFLAGS compiler options. When software gets flaky like this, eg. just disappearing or mysteriously quitting, usually is the main cause. Strace will usually catch the problem, while gdb/debugger might make things amazingly stable. Also, try a different file system, for ruling out the compiled (CIFS) kernel drivers. Some thoughts, but since you're already in the edu domain, likely already thought of all this already!
