So if you're running into the same problem gentoo's live-git build did,
it's likely because you're building the devel branch cloned from
kernel.org, which is no longer updated.


Woah, kernel.org is making a log that looks like it's up to date but
isn't that's awkward :(

Building now from the github you mentioned.

Also running a scrub, but I'm starting to suspect something else is
responsible. It ran fine overnight but crashed in less than a minute
after I logged back in on ssh this morning . . .

Hmm, the fact that it's intermittent is the most concerning part IMHO. It means it's a lot harder to track down. If your hard drives aren't any noisier than normal (most traditional hard disks get noticeably noisier when they're failing), then I'd suggest running something like memtest86+ for at least a full cycle with default options to verify if your RAM is working correctly. Usually, when I see intermittent crashes like this it's either a race condition in software somewhere, or bad RAM, and it's a lot easier to test for bad RAM than it is to test for race conditions.
