Thanks!
MAKEOPTS=-j1 didn't help

instead of 
/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/exact-image-0.8.1/image//usr/lib64/
python2.6/site-packages

there is a file
/var/tmp/portage/media-gfx/exact-image-0.8.1/image
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

note  lib not lib64
      python2.5  not python2.6

eselect python list gives
Available Python interpreters:
  [1]   python2.6 *
  [2]   python3.1

So, where does this come from?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.
