1 Hi,
2
3     is there a way to change the MAKEOPTS setting on a running emerge? 
4 I am using "-j 5 -l 4" whilst emerging gcc-9.3 but its creating too much
5 pressure  on memory.  I expect the emerge to take many more hours but
6 complete eventually - but reducing it to "-j2" will help other
7 operations whilst not losing whats already been completed (this is an
8 old atom N330 with 4G ram and is my gateway/router/firewall/snort/...
9 and the overload is starting to affect the network throughput
10 significantly).
