A user on the forums recently had this issue compiling dev-lang/vala, and I have had related issues. As for what the error means: definitions are missing, which from an end-user perspective is not really a fixable issue. I would rerun the compilation with -j1 if you have not already done so. If other people can build the package then portage may be munging the files in some way, but these issues are hard to diagnose. Cheers, R0b0t1
