Usually what happens is it will be corrupted in RAM after being |
| 14 |
verified on disk, and faulty results will be saved to disk from RAM. A |
| 15 |
user on the forums recently had this issue compiling dev-lang/vala, |
| 16 |
and I have had related issues. |

As for what the error means: definitions are missing, which from an |
| 19 |
end-user perspective is not really a fixable issue. I would rerun the |
| 20 |
compilation with -j1 if you have not already done so. If other people |
| 21 |
can build the package then portage may be munging the files in some |
| 22 |
way, but these issues are hard to diagnose. |
