First off, there is a new version of jam, and simply bumping the version of the ebuild does the trick. Secondly, there is a problem with the jam ebuild when using the userpriv feature. Below is the start of the output, and this happens with the 2.4 ebuild as well.

this is not a userpriv bug see bug #21858 for permission problem
edos2unix is now at Bug #20251
added 2.5 to cvs and changed SRC_URI to grab tar instead of zip ... that means we no longer need to use edos2unix ... however, that bug is still valid ;) http://cvs.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/gentoo-x86/dev-util/jam/jam-2.5.ebuild?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
