This is due to the gedit/Makefile.am using 'install-exec-local' to make a
symlink ('ln -s gedit gnome-text-editor'). This makes it possible for make
install to try make the symlink before the binary gedit is installed and die
horrible if install-exec has not yet installed gedit.
Use 'install-exec-hook' instead and make will wait with 'ln -s' until after
'install-exec' is finished before trying to symlink anything.

Will attach the same patch sent upstream in bug:

Fixed upstream. Wait for new version or patch?

Please consider applying this patch to gedit-2.20.4, as I'm experiencing the
very same problem. I used a quick and dirty MAKEOPTS="-j1" and the issue
disappeared.

Btw, gedit-2.20.4 became stable on x86 6 hours ago and 36 minutes ago on ppc,
so expect lots of complains :)
