Nope, if a package doesn't build with large -j then the ebuild should force -j1. Either a package is parallel build clean or it isn't. You can't make the problem go away by using an intermediate value for -j; it might work for you but it won't for somebody else. Regards, Aron -- Aron Griffis Gentoo Linux Developer
