Ebuild on the crashed machine isn't taking it.
If the two PCs have different arc/CPU/CFLAGS etc. some things won't work just by copying them over. Once you finished with your fsck, it would probably be better to boot a known good kernel and tool-chain, a.k.a. a LiveUSB/DVD, chroot into your damaged system, re-sync portage and rebuild world. Otherwise, you'll be fighting this war a battle at a time, not knowing what corrupt/missing file you'll come across next. -- Regards, Mick
