[gentoo-dev] Make usage and warnings

Hi guys,
currently in main tree we have quite few places where direct make calls are 
used instead of emake.

Most of these are just poor excuses to avoid setting -j1 bit later. This 
soultion is problematic because users can set more make options and they all 
get ignored this way.

I would like to propose repoman warning that would report direct make usage 
and possibly fill the bugs where relevant so it gets migrated to "emake -j1" 
(or whatever else is required).

Cheers

+1

I also am a big proponent of *not* using -j1 unless it is 100%
necessary. Fix the Makefile. Don't just take the shortcut. There is a
tracker for that here [1].
