We could.
But GNUMAKEFLAGS was not arbitrary chosen. The idea is that portage may
set --load-average via GNUMAKEFLAGS if the user did not set MAKEOPTS and
GNUMAKEFLAGS.
See https://github.com/gentoo/portage/pull/1072
I first put --load-average into MAKEOPTS, but --load-average is not a
portable make option, that is, some Make implementation do not support
it. Adding it to GNUMAKEFLAGS, a variable already set by portage, we
avoid passing this option to a make implementation that does not support it.
Hence, just adding GNUMAKEFLAGS is sufficient for the purpose of
propagating portage's potential new default into multiprocessing.eclass
& Co.
