my /etc/make.conf is derived from Daniel Robbins' highly commented make.conf file that is recommended in the Stage 1 and NPTL thread on the Documentation Tips and Tricks Gentoo Forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=189250 a copy of the unedited make.conf file is available online at: http://www.ali3nx.info/make.conf
an additional thread on this topic is present at the Gentoo Installation forum. other users appear to be having the same problem: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1740665#1740665
