The error is: In file included from assembler.flex:17: assembler.tab.h:323:14: warning: no newline at end of file assembler.flex: In function 'yylex': assembler.flex:71: error: 'yylval' undeclared (first use in this function) assembler.flex:71: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once assembler.flex:71: error: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [lex.yy.o] Error 1 It looks like byacc should be added to the required packages. I'm on an x86_64 machine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge flasm - This fails 2. emerge byacc 3. emerge flasm - This succeeds Actual Results: The flasm package fails to request all required packages.

I think you've meant sys-devel/bison, which actually already is a dep. That means, that something was (and perhaps still is) wrong with your system. Attach your build.log.
On the other hand, it may simply be a parallel make problem - hard to tell without build.log.
I've just uninstalled byacc and flasm, then tried remerging flasm. I'll attach the build.log.

OK, looks like it's the second case - parallel make. See, if it works with '-j1'.
Problem lies probably here: assembler.tab.c assembler.tab.h: assembler.y bison --defines --debug assembler.y with parallel make, that has a good reason to fail.
OK, that did indeed work with -j1 in my make.conf. Any idea why installing byacc first fixed the problem with -j4?
Well, parallel make bugs are quite sensitive to timing... IOW, I don't have a clue.
I applied a fix that I think should work. 23 Feb 2010; Pawel Hajdan jr <phajdan.jr@gentoo.org> files/flasm-1.62-makefile.patch: Hopefully fix a parallel make issue, bug #275272 by Niall Daley <bugs.gentoo.org@evilitdirector.com> If it doesn't work for you, please reopen the bug (please make sure you got the updated patch, see your /usr/portage/app-misc/flasm/ChangeLog file; it should contain the above message).
