gdm fails to compile with a higher number of parallel makes. Compiles fine if MAKEOPTS="-j2" but fails with -j3 or higher.

works fine here with MAKEOPTS="-j3" (I've got a HT-capable P4). Perhaps the real problem here is due to distcc and the number of jobs?
Yea, you're right, without distcc it works fine on the XP2700+ here also. Don't know why I didn't think to disable distcc and try it again. The other distcc hosts are a K6-3/550 and a K6-3/400. I also emerged gdm on the K6-3/550 and it worked fine with distcc enabled and MAKEOPTS="-j5". Both computers are set up similarly, so it leads me to believe it is not only distcc and MAKEOPTS but also the speed difference between the distcc hosts.
not going to cap number of jobs for one ill-reproducable problem in combo with distcc. closing
