You can set it on the command line for that build only |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge whatever |
| 16 |
|

I too find that it can help builds that otherwise fail, even when it |
| 18 |
doesn't, the make output gives a better idea of the failure point when |
| 19 |
parallel builds are not cluttering it up. |

If the build log is that big, either compress it or just post the last |
| 22 |
100 lines. The error message you posted doesn't really say much more than |
| 23 |
"it broke". |
