   There are some builds that will require you to run the 'source /etc/profile'   
   to get the shell back working. If I don't remember it wrong, some upgrades of   
   glibc and gcc can cause your trouble.   
   As you are working from a stage1 install, I guess when you run 'emerge system'   
   there was one/some upgrades that caused the problem, with later versions of   
   portage you will see all the important notes from the builds you done after   
   the emerges has finished, don't forget to read those notes.
