Bugzilla Bug 141131

Most of the time gedit compiles just fine, however, I've had 

while emerge --oneshot gedit >gedit.log 2>&1; do true; done

running for a whole night on a quad core system and it seems that simetimes
gedit fails to get through the compile stage with an error like:

if ! test -d de/; then mkdir de/; fi
case "." in /*) sd=".";; *) sd="../.";; esac; \
        if [ -f "C/legal.xml" ]; then d="../"; else d="$sd/"; fi; \
        (cd de/ && \
          `which xml2po` -e -p \
            "${d}de/de.po" \
            "${d}C/legal.xml" > legal.xml.tmp && \
            cp legal.xml.tmp legal.xml && rm -f legal.xml.tmp)

This goes away after setting MAKEOPTS to -j1

I feel lucky now because I compiled it with -j6 forever

It really builds fine most of the times and only occasionally fails. 

 * app-editors/gedit

   Total builds: 382
   Global build time: 24 hours, 12 minutes and 34 seconds.
   Average merge time: 3 minutes and 48 seconds.

   Info about currently installed ebuild:

   * app-editors/gedit-2.14.3
   Install date: Thu Jul 20 09:19:04 2006
   USE="spell python"
   CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=970 -mtune=970 -mabi=altivec -maltivec
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe"

maybe it is the arch :)
well I cannot refuse a good experiment so it seems fair to add this to the
ebuild. There are some ebuilds in gnome which are already filtering MAKEOPTS
for a long time, maybe you could test those too to see if the filtering is
still needed.

I can verify this problem during release-building.  Please make sure, that in
the ebuild ppc will be set to MAKEOPTS="-j1".  Currently it's a
release-blocker.

Added a makeopts restrict for ppc only.
