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

EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS is often used to allow for concurrent emerge operations through the --jobs N and --load-average X.Y options, which tell Portage how many package builds can be ran simultaneously and up to what system load (load average) the parallelism can be used.

For example, to run up to three build jobs simultaneously:

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