Jack,
- I don't manually build bash. Just : #emerge bash
- CTRL+Alt+F1 to get out of X and go to TTY1
- logged as root with the root password
- emerge bash stops at password required.
Since you are logged in as root, have you tried the root password when sudo asks? I wonder if it's looking for the portage password, which I don't think exists. As someone else said - there is really no reason for sudo to be used if you are root. However, during the emerge, I believe the effective UID is changed to portage. Does this give anyone else any further ideas of what to check?
