I have two x64 systems: a true AMD64 box, and an Intel i7 box. On the former, groff 1.21 emerges fine. On the latter, it fails. And I can't see anything in the build.log that explains what the failure actually is. The two boxes are not otherwise identical. The former box is used by everyone else, the latter just by me (the geek), and thus the latter has more ~amd64 stuff installed. I'm not sure any of that would explain it. Reproducible: Always Portage 2.2.0_alpha29 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.3-r0, 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System

Created attachment 269285 [details] build log from failure
Well the error is probably: /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/groff-1.21/work/groff-1.21/src/roff/groff/groff: can't find `DESC' file /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/groff-1.21/work/groff-1.21/src/roff/groff/groff:fatal error: invalid device `html' But given MAKEOPTS="-j13 -l25", I could make a good guess about the reason.
