Description Gordon Pettey 2017-02-04 18:13:59 UTC 
Given a MAKEOPTS with unlimited jobs and a load limit, multiprocessing.eclass makeopts_jobs() returns a bogus result.

MAKEOPTS="-j -l9" makeopts_jobs returns "-l9"
MAKEOPTS="-l9 -j" makeopts_jobs returns "-j"

This breaks at least dev-libs/boost-1.56.0-r1 which sets OPTIONS="-j$(makeopts_jobs)"
