You can set it on the command line for that build only

MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge whatever

I too find that it can help builds that otherwise fail, even when it
doesn't, the make output gives a better idea of the failure point when
parallel builds are not cluttering it up.

If the build log is that big, either compress it or just post the last
100 lines. The error message you posted doesn't really say much more than
"it broke".
