when I ran into this problem a few days ago, I was able to get around it by 
turning off EMERGE_USE_SHORT_PATH. Not a fix, but a workaround.

That said, turning off the short paths later caused trouble while compiling 
kdelibs (where some files were expected to be in the short paths). I have not 
resolved that, yet, and I think I will probably have to re-do some steps.

Yes, it is a lot more cumbersome than it would look like in theory, and in 
fact I believe that really is a significant barrier, turning off interested 
developers from KDE on Windows. Let me spam this list once more with the idea, 
that the project should offer snapshots of %KDEROOT% for download, at least 
whenever a release was made. For KDE 4.9, mingw4, 32bit, I offered an archive 
of my %KDEROOT%, here:
  http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-windows&m=135541718223018&w=2
(kdelibs and dependencies, only).

Thomas
