I actually added this to my options in make.conf long ago and it works 
very well.  If I start a emerge and a package fails and I'm napping or 
not watching it, it just continues on and lets me know at the end what 
failed.

In the situation that the OP is in, just doing a CTRL C and then 
restarting the emerge should skip that first package just fine.  So as a 
user who has used this setting for a long time, it does work well.
