Building pciutils with the -j4 flag, there is a race condition between building the apps (lspci, setpci) and the library (libpci.a). It tries to build the apps before the library has been completely built, resulting in a linker error. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. stick -j4 in your MAKEOPTS 2. emerge pciutils Actual Results: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-apps/pciutils-2.2.4 to / * pciutils-2.2.4.tar.gz MD5 ;-) ...
