This has been covered. There is not JIT for amd64 unless you use the 1.1.x development series of mono. I have ebuilds mostly working for the 1.1.2 release, but they are by no means ready for portage yet. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 58653 ***
What does this have to do with AMD64 or JIT? The error is purely a permissions issue - it cannot touch .tested since it is seems to be trying to create a file in a directory that the portage user does not have write access to. This is a problem with a fair number of ebuilds, and my understanding is that it just requires some kind of tweaking. I was able to workaround it and compile this just fine by removing userpriv/usersandbox from my features. This does not change the fact that it should build fine with these features enabled.
I'm beginning to think that this is some kind of portage/emerge issue, and not necessarily package specific. I've gotten this error several times in the last week or so. In another bug report, the suggestion was to delete everything in /var/tmp/portage, and this fixed the problem. Perhaps this should be reclassified as a portage bug?
