After emerging the latest portage and emerging packages, I'm seeing this
after a successful completed install....

I haven't see this happening myself. It seems your linenumbers are
different, but it's the multijob stuff (multijob_init). It probably
helps if you can figure out which call is bombing out here.

I get on OpenIndiana now:

* redirect_alloc_fd failed

which looks similar to your error, but investigations pending...

Ok, this turns out to be redirect_alloc_fd doing something that only
works on Linux to find a free file descriptor, it seems. At least it
fails hard on Solaris, so it needs bash 4.1 at least, because there this
is a bash built-in, which /does/ seem to work correctly.

Managed to fix my error, it was a local problem with my libc.
