I am using distcc and therefore using FEATURES="distcc" and MAKEOPTS="-j6". When emerging binutils with these options, it seems that various configure calls are running in parallel, as well as actual compilation. It finally stops with an error on one of my machines, while it works on another. Emerging with MAKEOPTS="-j1" fixes the problem. Maybe this should be made default?

Here's the end of a failed compilation, with the error close to the top. The "fork" error seems to mean libtool can't launch a process anymore.
