8 This is a classic parallel make problem indicator, but it doesn't always
9 cause a failure and may not be your problem here. I'd try emerging it
10 with MAKEOPTS=-j1 and see if that works as the error shows up later, not
11 here. If -j1 works, please file a bug "dev-util/devhelp-0.21 parallel
12 make error" or similar and attach the log you posted here (along with
13 emerge --info), calling attention to the above bit and your normal/failed
14 makeopts and that -j1 works.

16 Other than that suggestion, I see it says linker error, but really don't
17 know where to go from there. You don't have anything exotic in your
18 LDFLAGS, do you? If so, you may wish to try with an empty LDFLAGS as
19 well. I know that has nailed me a few times, tho not lately (but I don't
20 do GNOME, so...).
