I had this problem on 1 of 3 systems and weirdly, simply unemerging and reemerging (instead of updating) worked.

[Comment 9 Zac Medico 2022-01-11 21:27:01 UTC]

I was able to suppress this with MAKEOPTS=j1 so apparently it's a parallel make issue.

ci has reproduced this issue with version 4.20.0_p1 - Updating summary.

I have a the bug bug (different file though):

As others have mentioned, running the install phase through ebuild without sourcing make.conf for higher -j options makes the install work.
