[gentoo-user] Palemoon again - again

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello list,

After following the "Palemoon again" thread I wanted to try Pale Moon, so I
installed layman and added the octopus overlay. Here's a snippet from the
build log:

You see it couldn't even find a rule to make the object files. I tried
setting MAKEOPTS="-j 1" to override the --jobs=24 that I usually have set,
but that just changed the logged error, substituting 1 for 24.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I wanted to look for clues in the make
file, but /usr/bin/find returns well over 1000 results.
