Hi, is there a way to change the MAKEOPTS setting on a running emerge? I am using "-j 5 -l 4" whilst emerging gcc-9.3 but its creating too much pressure on memory. I expect the emerge to take many more hours but complete eventually - but reducing it to "-j2" will help other operations whilst not losing whats already been completed (this is an old atom N330 with 4G ram and is my gateway/router/firewall/snort/... and the overload is starting to affect the network throughput significantly).
