hi, guys,
    
    On my linux box, after deep-upgrade, the version of 'sys-devel/make'
    was 3.82. 

    Now I want to use version 3.81 to compile a software, i can do it by
        "emerge /usr/portage/sys-devel/make/make-3.81.ebuild"

    however, after next upgrade, the version became 3.82 again.

    I am wondering if i could select the different version by eslect or
    something else, just like 'update-alternatives' in debian.

    Any idea, thanks a lot.

Best regards

portage only supports one version of make at a time.

To have two versions of make, you must install the second one yourself
from source into a convenient place like /usr/local, and manage it
yourself.

You can always mask greater versions, and then portage won't merge
then. Just hope that nothing from now on depends on the new version.
