Re: parallel make is broken
It's not working with parallel make, mostly because it needs to build things to build it. IIRC other gentoo packages dont support parallel build though

That indicates either a bug in the build system or indicates that the build system is so crappy, that it doesn't let you properly specify compile-dependencies.
Re: parallel make is broken
Yes, however on the list of bug priorities this ranks much lower than other bugs for the time it takes to fix (rewriting the build system) don't you think ?

Rewriting the build system means it is more accessible to everyone who doesn't use precompiled binaries: source distros, people testing different stuff, trying to contribute or having to compile manually for whatever reason.
A broken build system decreases the number of end-users, the level of support you get from various distros and the number of potential contributors who end up fighting it, because it is broken (also: this is not the only build-system related bug).
