Parallel builds are normal and expected on Gentoo though - you can set
the -j option globally.  (I use -j3 on my dual-core box, and I didn't
have any trouble building chicken, but maybe it just happened to
work.)  So hopefully there is a way to override it for a single
ebuild, if chicken really can't be reliably built that way.
