Setting MAKEOPTS="-j1" works as workaround. Build.log in following patch
Created attachment 138305 [details] build.log for media-gfx/fontforge-20071210 with MAKEOPTS="-j2"
MAKEOPTS="-j1" also fixed my build issues with fontforge. In my case it was an error about missing libgutils.la (sorry for the lack of a log).
I also saw the libgutils.la error and -j1 fixed it. This was on ~amd64. Emerge --info and log to follow.
Created attachment 138307 [details] emerge --info output

Created attachment 138310 [details, diff] Patch Makefiles to add dependency Hit this bug on my ~x86. Attached patch should fix it. Right now I'm running a loop of 20 build runs with -j10. If anything else turns up, I'll post it here. Otherwise you may consider the patch thoroughly tested and working.
I had the same issue in the ~amd64 environment. I ran MAKEJOPTS="-j1" emerge --resume and it compiled fine.
