Created attachment 312773 [details] build.log from failed build This one's a headscratcher for me, but dev-lang/ruby did build once I commented out my MAKEOPTS line in /etc/make.conf temporarily. However, with -j10 or -j -l 10 (since I have a dual quadcore machine) it falls over after generating "cannot create regular file" or "cannot create directory" messages. In this case, it fell over after trying to create the file ../../.ext/common/fiddle. However, the several times I've tried it before a successful build, it was complaining about various files and/or directories. I suspect a race condition somewhere.

It works without parallel build.
I can't reproduce this. Could you test this with ruby-1.9.3_p194-r1 to see if the problem still occurs for you?
(In reply to comment #5) > I can't reproduce this. Could you test this with ruby-1.9.3_p194-r1 to see > if the problem still occurs for you? ruby-1.9.3_p194-r1 works fine, even with MAKEOPTS="-j8".
Sorry I didn't notice this bug before. Yes it's a true bug, it only happens if there is enough CPU free to build in parallel, I hit it a few months ago and fixed (in _p194-r1) properly, whereas upstream did apply drobbins's (funtoo's) patch which was only making the issue unlikely but not fixed. Backporting is a bit difficult so I'd suggest just mark the new stable soon...
