I can confirm this. The problem is in line 219 of the ebuild: gnome2_src_compile -j1 || die "Make failed" gnome2_src_compile it's not only the call to make; it's also the call to the configure script, which tries to use the "-j1" option. I fixed it with: MAKEOPTS="-j1" gnome2_src_compile || die "Make failed" With this, the ebuild compiles and install without problems, using "make -j1" (it just compiled, so I cannot tell anything about stability yet).
This bug is a duplicate of bug 152018.

Same problem here, manually editing ebuild works fine. Should probably get an -r1 out there to fix this.
Sorry for the problem, I've fixed this line in -r1.
