OK - nevermind - feel free to smack me upside the head... :)

had the "hipe" USE flag set, and right at the beginning of the build, it says:

You enabled High performance Erlang. Be aware that this extension can break the compilation in many ways, especially on hardened systems. Don't cry, don't file bugs, just disable it!


Sorry for the noise...

Created attachment 130759 [details, diff]
Patch to fix install overwrite

There was a duplicate entry in the Makefile.  Removing the entry allows erlang to compile normally with the hipe use flag.
