running make again or using -j1 fixes problem.
Please attach build.log and `emerge --info` output.

Just ran into this on my system. As far as I can tell it's a race condition in the automake build process. I'm not sure exactly where though.
After discussion on IRC I am going to drop "CONFIRMED" status. We still don't have a reproducer. Ben noticed that > ln bin/aclocal bin/aclocal-1.16 and > ln bin/automake bin/automake-1.16 are missing in attached build.log which looks like > install-exec-hook: > @$(POST_INSTALL) > @for p in $(bin_SCRIPTS); do \ > f=`echo $$p | sed -e 's,.*/,,' -e '$(transform)'`; \ > fv="$$f-$(APIVERSION)"; \ > rm -f "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$fv"; \ > echo " $(LN) '$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$f' '$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$fv'"; \ > $(LN) "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$f" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/$$fv"; \ > done from $src/bin/local.mk didn't run for some reason...

maybe it would be worth adding a check if make fails and if so, print a warning to retry the build with instructions to post build log to this bug?
pressed submit too early. I think it's probably not worth forcing -j1 for the apparent majority of users that have no problem, even if the difference is only a few seconds.
I can confirm the failure and the fix (MAKEOPTS=-j1) on one of my system.
