The same here o_0

Same problem here on amd64.

With MAKEOPTS=-j3 it fails on pentium4; but add "-j 1" to the emake command and
it works.

Same here on amd64 and works with MAKEOPTS="-j1"

Same here.

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge gettext
and it works.

No, this is due to the lack of USE=emacs.  It failed consistently for me
without emacs, and worked with emacs.

Did you have emacs installed, but not in USE ?

I got this error too on my ~x86 box. Temporarily setting MAKEOPTS="-j1"
(instead o f the "-j2" I normally keep it at) seems to fix it for me. I do not
have Emacs installed and I have '-emacs' in my USE flags.

Created an attachment (id=53366) [edit]
gettext-0.14.2-fix-race.patch

Seems like it is a race condition in the Makefile - can anybody try this patch?

the patch provided fixes the issue, successful ebuild.

Fixed in cvs.

I still got this bug today. It was using distcc. Without using distcc gettext
compiled just fine. Maybe you want to disable distcc in the ebuild. 

Right, if you use distcc, it fails with the same error as reported. The correct
solution when building with distcc, is to supply MAKEOPTS="-j1" when emerging
gettext. The patch given does not work in this situation.
