I DoSed a remote box building devel/glib20 too. Just now reproduced it
locally.

It manifested as a forkbomb somewhere in gnome-libtool while building
glib-2.26.1 inside a clean chroot (not a jail). The issue seemed to only
manifest within the chroot, regardless of whether the configuration was
identical to the host or not. It did not occur when attempting to build
on the host machine.

Every other package I built worked just fine.

I eventually tracked it down to a stray colon at the start of the PATH
variable in my chroot build environment:

PATH=:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

Thus, it might be a good idea to verify that your build environment
variables and config files are sane.
