1 Why does get_number_of_jobs reduces the number of parallel jobs to "to
2 ensure successful merge"? In my humble opinion if a package fails to
3 compile with a large -j then the ebuild should know the limit and
4 reduce it.

6 An example of the problem: My machine has one processor but there are
7 many icecc daemons running on the local network. get_number_of_jobs
8 makes libstdc++-v3 compile with -j2 but It could use -j25 from the
9 /etc/make.conf. Removing the get_number_of_jobs makes libstdc++-v3
10 compile much faster.
