Why do you want to force -j1 here?

And i had this proposal some months ago, which noone argued against any more (the default list may
of course be extended):

from http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_be89b62ad12881ce3dfe1d417ae80005.xml :

So what about this funcion for the next EAPI and also implementation in base.eclass?

default_src_install() {
	if [ -f Makefile ] || [ -f GNUmakefile ] || [ -f makefile ]; then
		emake DESTDIR="${D}" install || die "emake install failed"
	fi
	if [ -n "${DOCS}" ]; then
		dodoc ${DOCS} || die "dodoc failed"
	else
		for x in AUTHORS ChangeLog NEWS README; do
			if [ -e ${x} ]; then
				dodoc ${x} || die "dodoc ${x} failed"
			fi
		done
	fi
}
