It disables the _enable_ipc_daemon flag inside AbstractEbuildProcess, |
| 9 |
which mostly just affects the implementation of has_version and |
| 10 |
best_version calls in ebuilds. |

This has no relationship with the _enable_ipc_daemon flag inside |

AbstractEbuildProcess. I suspect that you are observing the effects of |

the code which causes extra precautions to be taken for system packages, |
| 19 |
in order to avoid bugs like these: |

There is some mention of --jobs behavior and these bugs in the FAQ: |
