app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.12 sometimes fails to compile when parallel build is enabled (MAKEOPTS="-j5 -l4"). Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `emerge =app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.12' with MAKEOPTS set for parallel build 2a. with luck, enjoy the compilation failure 2b. otherwise, repeat step 1 until you get to step 2a Actual Results: VirtualBox fails to compile (well, not always : in my experience, once in 3 tries). Expected Results: VirtualBox should be compiled without error. When using MAKEOPTS="-j1", the compilation succeeds (tried twice). $ emerge -pqv =app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.12 [ebuild R ] app-emulation/virtualbox-4.1.12 USE="alsa opengl pam qt4 -additions -doc

It has probably the same cause - virtualbox-4.2.12 fails to compile (always) when distcc is used with same symptoms as this bug. Setting MAKEFLAGS="-j1" does not help but with FEATURES="-distcc" it compiles as expected. If interested I can add a build log and/or open a new bug.
I have not seen any parallel make failures in vbox in quite some time, is this still occurring?

*** Bug 577716 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Proposed fix: https://577716.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=428540 10x rebuild w/wo patch and MAKEOPTS=-j4, results: without the patch: 8x build failure with the patch: 0x build failure So it seems the patch works.
The problem still occurs with app-emulation/virtualbox-5.0.20. Please include the proposed patch from Yarda: https://577716.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=428540 Tested and working with epatch on latest version too.
Still happens here with stable ebuild app-emulation/virtualbox-5.0.32. Applied Yarda's patch and it built fine: https://577716.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=428540
commit 5bd8521042bfc356fd20c4505a6c6780d9f4510b Author: Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> Date: Fri Feb 3 16:12:23 2017 app-emulation/virtualbox: Fixed parallel build issue (bug #413467). Also attempt to finally fix creation and installation of docs (bug #554932). Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.3, Repoman-2.3.1 Would be nice if someone could report back if the same problem needs to be fixed in virtualbox-5.1.x

I tried to rebuild virtualbox-5.1.14 twice and it seems to work without patching. But maybe I am wrong, I didn't test it thoroughly, I only did two rebuilds. IIRC last virtualbox which I patches was 5.1.6.
Still happens here with VirtualBox-6.0.24
Actually it works now, weird, I tried it few times and it didn't.
