I'd try emerging it=20 with MAKEOPTS=3D-j1 and see if that works as the error shows up later, no= t=20 here. If -j1 works, please file a bug "dev-util/devhelp-0.21 parallel=20 make error" or similar and attach the log you posted here (along with=20 emerge --info), calling attention to the above bit and your normal/failed= =20 makeopts and that -j1 works. Other than that suggestion, I see it says linker error, but really don't=20 know where to go from there. You don't have anything exotic in your=20 LDFLAGS, do you? If so, you may wish to try with an empty LDFLAGS as=20 well. I know that has nailed me a few times, tho not lately (but I don't= =20 do GNOME, so...). --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
