If MAKEOPTS="-j" the make will fail (not the lack of any number after j indicating spawn maximum jobs) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.set MAKEOPTS="-j" 2.emerge package 3.fails Actual Results: see above Expected Results: emerge
a better way to filter out the job flag (than using the sed script you have now) might be this: MAKEOPTS=" ${MAKEOPTS} " MAKEOPTS="${MAKEOPTS/ -j? /}" MAKEOPTS="${MAKEOPTS/ -j /}"
How exactly does the build fail? If it's due to memory constraints, then this bug is invalid. If it fails when x in "make -jx" is over a certain number then that should be filtered out. Unfortunately I can't test either as I don't have that much RAM..
Haven't been able to replicate this, asking for a testrequest or I will just mark this bug as cant fix ;p
