Please attach the complete output from emerge when compiling with -j2.
Created attachment 88699 [details] Log of a typical failure case The point of failure is not always identical, depending on load of the machine caused by other users. I tried a few times an one time it even went through. It _always_ works when commenting out the MAKEOPTS. Seems the ebuild should filter it.
*** Bug 136119 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
A restriction is now in the ebuild to avoid these problems. Thanks for the report.
