The thing is, in the case of hardlinks, we're parallelizing multiple times on the *same* elf. Anyway, I've fixed it by using a directory full of hardlinks, in these commits: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=ad944275b88a50d2a1f694826b127cceb9221e78 http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=9ed00a9e70a3705164a5349145ff467e5c40ddfd -- Thanks, Zac
