Did you build with  "MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes" as suggested? This will put the
actual error at the end of the output. Without that, it is pretty
impossible to troubleshoot. t very least we need he full error which, with
"MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=yes" defined, should be immediately before the
tiny snippet you provided. Please include, at very least, the output from
the compile, link, or whatever triggered the error. Also, what non-standard
configuration options do you have? "make showconfig" will print this out.

A full log that is publicly accessible is best, but should be put in a
publicly accessible place as it will likely be too large for a mail
message.

Finally, is there a reason not to use the binary package?
