Reply to message «Is it safe to build Vim with "make -j"?», sent 14:43:17 01 April 2011, Friday by Michael Henry:
It is not the official answer, but I can say that `make -j5' works for me and Gentoo ebuild maintainers did not make ebuild ignore user MAKEOPTS (where number of jobs is commonly defined), though some ebuilds do ignore MAKEOPTS.
