Hello there Just for the record: I was able to solve the problem!!
I created a separate environment file in /etc/portage/env.
The content of this file is:
-8<-------------------------------
CFLAGS="-pipe "
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} "
MAKEOPTS="-j1 "
-8<-------------------------------
The CFLAGS normally is "-02 -pipe -march=k8 " and the job
count for make is 4.
I guess I can further tune the process now.
