Just sharing a fix I have for parallell builds. sed -i -e 's/^all-local:.*/all-local: $(LTLIBRARIES)/' \ src/dynamic-preprocessors/*/Makefile.am || return 1 and run the autotools stuff... Should put the horses on your 8 core boxes back to work again. I'm not really a gentoo user anymore so take it or leave it. Thanks!
Thanks for the patch, committed in 2.8.5.1.
