EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS is a variable for Portage that defines entries to be appended to the emerge command line.

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS allows for parallel emerge operations through the --jobs N and --load-average X.Y options. EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS is used by Portage to reference system load, or load average, and limit how many packages are built at a time.

To run up to three build jobs simultaneously:

FILE /etc/portage/make.confEnabling 3 parallel package builds
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs 3"
