The ebuild in summary is currently forcing users to use serial make (-j1, no extra job tasks). This seems not to be needed.

The ebuild was modified to use -j8 on a truly 8-core SMP system and didn't fail the build, you should either check if it's a particular USE flag to cause the problem, or drop -j1 and leave the user to decide how many jobs to use.

I want to remember you that with modern multicore systems, forcing serial make is going to waste a lot of time and resources for users..

Thanks,
Diego

Fails with -j8, works with -j1 on my system and a users system with Gentoo Prefix. Either fix properly or I will add -j1 back. See the duplicate bug for relavant logs :)

thx.

Let's change the order ;)
I'll track the other bug instead.
