The ebuild in summary is currently forcing users to use serial make (-j1, no extra job tasks). This seems not to be needed (as the doc USE flag has been commented out). The ebuild was modified to use -j8 on a truly 8-core SMP system and didn't fail the build, you should either check if it's a particular USE flag to cause the problem, or drop -j1 and leave the user to decide how many jobs to use. I want to remember you that with modern multicore systems, forcing serial make is going to waste a lot of time and resources for users. To show some numbers: lilypond: Thu Aug 28 00:35:36 2008: 13 minutes, 59 seconds lilypond: Thu Aug 28 13:10:45 2008: 2 minutes, 55 seconds the former was with -j1, the latter with -j8. Thanks, Diego
fixed in 2.11.58
I'm turning on -j1 again, because it still causes additional failures for doc building. I therefore do not trust that it works correctly even if it does not fail outright.
