Description W.A. Collier 2003-09-01 11:39:29 UTC

I have a dual proc box, and use -j4.  cutils gets into some sort of race
condition with a parser file (yy.tab or parser.c or similar) when one build
tries to move it as does another.

Workaround (for now): edit make.conf just for this one use to -j1, then edit
make.conf back to its normal settings after the emerge.

Hi W.A.

I could not reproduce this, but I am not on an smp system either. Anyway I issued the -r1 ebuild that adds MAKEOPTS=-j1 before emake. Should do it for you.
I also did few cleanups on the ebuild.
Please test.
