Emerging this package fails with: ... ... make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.

ERROR: app-text/noweb-2.9-r3 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 30, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) According to http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~nr/noweb/FAQ.html the following is the reason: Q. The build fails because it can't find notangle. What am I doing wrong? A. Your source files have the wrong timestamps. The noweb files are carefully distributed so that the C code is more recent than the literate source code. Retrieving that noweb distribution as a compressed tar file preserves these stamps. The CTAN sites will create a compressed tar file on the fly for any directory. Your best bet is to get the tar file, unpack it, and try again, because your abortive attempt will probably have stomped on a C file that you need. I have reports that the former CTAN site ftp.shsu.edu fouled the timestamps. Don't use the site! If you get bad timestamps, you can try `make touch' as soon as you unpack the distribution, which should touch all of the derived files. This trick won't work on NeXT systems, which have a strange idea of 'touch'.
