I use -j12 and don't have any issues. I also use "emerge -j" along
with it which sometimes results in hundreds of gcc running at once
(emerging all of kde simultaneously), and it survives.

Certain rare packages don't support parallel make, but typically the
ebuild will override your -j setting with -j1 instead. binutils for
certain works on my system with -j12.
