Appearantly this is basically the same issue as http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267613 My workaround was to set "--jobs=1" both in MAKEOPTS and EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS. Heres the error message and my "emerge --info": making lib/glob/libglob.a in ./lib/glob make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-shells/bash-4.0_p35/work/bash-4.0/lib/glob' rm -f glob.o i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -DDEFAULT_PATH_VALUE='"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"' -DSTANDARD_UTILS_PATH='"/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"' -DSYS_BASHRC='"/etc/bash/bashrc"' -DSYS_BASH_LOGOUT='"/etc/bash/bash_logout"' -DNON_INTERACTIVE_LOGIN_SHELLS -DSSH_SOURCE_BASHRC -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../lib -march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer glob.c In file included from glob.c:51: ../../shell.h:41:23: error: pathnames.h: No such file or directory glob.c:1026:62: warning: missing terminating ' character make[1]: *** [glob.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-shells/bash-4.0_p35/work/bash-4.0/lib/glob' make: *** [lib/glob/libglob.a] Error 1 Portage 2.1.6.13 (hardened/linux/x86/10.0, gcc-4.3.4, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r2, 2.6.28-hardened-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.28-hardened-r9-i686-Intel-R-_Pentium-R-_4_CPU_1500MHz-with-glibc2.1.3 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 08 Jan 2010 02:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.63-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs --load-average=1" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt/pub/gentoo/gentoo-distfiles" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="--jobs --load-average=1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://ftp.rnl.ist.utl.pt/gentoo-portage" USE="acl bacula-console bash berkdb bzip2 cli cracklib crypt cups cxx dri gdbm gpm hardened iconv innodb logrotate logwatch mmx modules mudflap mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly openmp pam pcre perl pic pppd python readline reflection session spl sse sse2 ssh ssl sysfs tcpd urandom vim x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="apm ark chips cirrus cyrix dummy fbdev glint i128 i740 intel mach64 mga neomagic nsc nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage siliconmotion sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tseng v4l vesa via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
