stage1 libtool problem

I'm switching from a heavily modified version of Mandrake to Gentoo, and
running into difficulty. I'm using the 1.4-rc1 stage 1 tarball from the
UT2003 demo iso cd, and have no problems at all until I execute the
bootstrap.sh script. It runs fine until it decides to install libtool. I
then get the following output:

	>>> md5 ;-) libtool-1.4.1.tar.gz
	>>> Unpacking source...
	>>> Unpacking libtool-1.4.1.tar.gz
	patch: **** Can't create file /root/tmp/po3YJDgm : Permission
denied

	!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
	!!! Function src_unpack, Line -106, Exitcode 2
	!!! (no error message)

I am building everything in the default location of /var/tmp, and not
/root/tmp, by the way. I don't know why it's trying to write to
/root/tmp/[randomly determined filename], but it _should_ be able to; I'm
running as root. I eventually went so far as to make /root and /root/tmp
world writeable (temporarily), and this did not help. I later ran "emerge
--debug libtool", which produces this output:

   + echo
   
   + exit 1

I initially thought that the error might somehow have been caused (though
I don't know how) by my particular selection of "USE" options and/or my
CFLAGS CXXFLAGS, or perhaps by my filesystem of choice (ReiserFS -- yes, I
know it's not recommended). To test this, I wiped everything, rebuilt my
filesystems using ext2, and used vanilla values for all compilation
options. The result was identical.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
