[gentoo-catalyst] a couple of questions about catalyst operation

Hi.  I am new  to catalyst, and I have a few questions.

It seems that during the build, MAKEOPTS is being set to -j8 and that is
too much for my quadcore machine -- I am getting temperature warnings.
I tried to put export MAKEOPTS="-j1" in the catalystrc, but that did not
work.

Also, when genkernel was run I got * ERROR: Configure of dmraid failed!
-- I don't know why, I don't have raid on the host, would that have
anything to do with things?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
