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
