When having a limited amount of ram there are some packages which need to be compiled on their own and with MAKEOPTS="-j1". Other packages can be compiled with 'MAKEOPTS="-jn" emerge --jobs=m' with m>1 and n>1.

The big packages should be listed in

FILE /etc/portage/package.env

'"`UNIQ--pre-00000000-QINU`"'

root #MAKEOPTS="-j2" emerge --jobs=2 --exclude "`grep one-make-thread.conf /etc/portage/package.env | grep -v "^#" | cut -f 1 | tr '\n' ' '`" -DvuaN @world

root #MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge --jobs=1 -DvuaN @world

Thanks to #gentoo for the help!

My commands for updating:

root # emerge --sync && MAKEOPTS="-j2" emerge --jobs=2 --exclude "`grep one-make-thread.conf /etc/portage/package.env | grep -v "^#" | cut -f 1 | tr '\n' ' '`" -DvuaN @world && emerge -DvuaN @world
