> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8680082.html None of the ideas here helped me either. Neither did changing the LANG nor MAKEOPTS. ... however, I was able to figure out what was causing the failures, if not why. I had "icecream" in my FEATURES, even though I never bothered setting up the service or anything to use it. I removed this from FEATURES and the build completed successfully. Lesson learned.
