On my SMP box gdm-2.8.0.5 does not compile with -j4. I changed MAKEOPTS in /etc/make.conf to -j1 and it did the job.

Hmmm... It built fine here with -j3. I'll try again with -j4, when I get access to my bigger box.
One thing that I am wondering about is, that after emerge fails and I change to /var/tmp/portage/gdm-2.8.0.5/work/gdm-2.8.0.5 and fire 'make' manually, the whole package builds fine. BTW: I have the following USE flags set: gnome-base/gdm-2.8.0.5 -debug +ipv6 +pam (-selinux) +tcpd -xinerama
-j12 set for mine (yeah, too many processors to be human). I'm wondering if this has anything to do with compile order, just throwing that out there. I remember having this sort of trouble building mythtv manually with distcc-or with SMP in the earlier days (i.e., compile this directory first, this directory next.) I did a manual make in this directory: /var/tmp/portage/gdm-2.8.0.5/work/gdm-2.8.0.5/vicious-extensions and then stepped throught the ebuild process and everything seemed to work as expected which leads me to believe that since that directory was compiled the -j12 no longer hindered the ebuild process.
