In my humble opinion if a package fails to compile with a large -j then the ebuild should know the limit and reduce it. An example of the problem: My machine has one processor but there are many icecc daemons running on the local network. get_number_of_jobs makes libstdc++-v3 compile with -j2 but It could use -j25 from the /etc/make.conf. Removing the get_number_of_jobs makes libstdc++-v3 compile much faster. Thanks for any comments, Rafael Ávila de Espíndola -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
