I had hoped to never ever see this error again, looks like my hopes were |
| 45 |
dashed. |

Short answer: The OOo build system is the most fragile, spaghetti-infested |
| 48 |
piece of software crap ever invented, bar none. It's is worse, far worse, than |
| 49 |
the Windows build system. There is no easy answer. |

| 51 |
Long answer: The reason for the failure is in the build log, but it is never |
| 52 |
just above the error message. It is often many 1000s of lines higher. |
| 53 |
bugs.gentoo.org is infested with bug reports of this kind of thing, to get any |
| 54 |
meaningful answer you *MUST* follow the instructions in the ebuild and build |
| 55 |
with "MAKEOPTS=-j1", also switch off distcc and cachecc as well. |
