Gentoo: Toolchain fails during install

I am attempting to install the PSP toolchain in Gentoo, but the install keeps failing at the same spot:

checking for psp-as... &#40;cached&#41; psp-as
checking for psp-ar... &#40;cached&#41; psp-ar
checking for psp-ranlib... &#40;cached&#41; psp-ranlib

make&#58; *** &#91;all&#93; Error 2
../scripts/004-newlib-1.15.0.sh&#58; Failed.

Apparently, something is stopping 004-newlib-1.15.0.sh from running correctly. I don't think it is GCC because I have attempted to install using a bunch of different versions of GCC and they have all failed in the same place. Any idea what is wrong?

Check your version of textinfo and textinfo-tex. Version 4.11 has some problems. 4.8 worked for me. I haven't tried any newer versions.

Alright. I've installed thexinfo 4.8 and it worked. It seems that all newer versions in portage break the psp toolchain. I have hard masked all newer versions so that it won't update. Once the problem is taken care of I'll unmask it.
