Bug 939366 – sci-libs/hipBLASLt 6.1.1 does not respect MAKEOPTS

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Amit Ugol 2024-09-09 08:34:49 UTC]

sci-libs/hipBLASLt 6.1.1 does not respect MAKEOPTS and when it starts to compile the log says:
Reading logic files: Launching 24 threads...

while
# grep OPT /etc/portage/make.conf 
MAKEOPTS="-j20 -l20"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set MAKEOPTS to be less of the total number of threads in your system
2. emerge sci-libs/hipBLASLt 6.1.1
3.
Actual Results:  
Reading logic files: Launching 24 threads...

Expected Results:  
Reading logic files: Launching 20 threads... (in my case)

Package would also fail to compile with broken pipes, and all the available memory was spent, this is why I wanted to limit threads to begin with.

# free -v
