I usually use emerge -ep world and put the list of packages (without

That way you will have a list of any packages that fail to compile for
some reason and a way to restart if it needs to be stopped for any
reason.
isnt there an order to the packages? like you have to build the glibc
first? doesnt every program get linked with it? or gcc do make the
rest go faster? if not your trick is great: on another machine i had
to do everything from scratch 3 times since something would happen in
the middle of it and i didnt know how far it got.
There is an order to the packages but it is not vitally important on a running
system. glibc for example responds to very few use flags: nls, pic nptl.
nls pic won't affect how other packages are compiled and nptl will only
affect very few.
emerge -ep will put the packages in order based on dependencies anyway, so
you won't have any problems (dep-related) if you recompile in the order it
gives you.
