TIP_GCC_performance
Warning: The following tips are not recommended. There are sensible reasons why things are the way they are and changing them can break packages.
These two tricks just halfed my mozila-firefox build time:
Force parallel make for almost all packages
Although you have MAKEFLAGS="-j5" in your /etc/make.conf, packages like www-client/mozilla-firefox still build with -j1 only. A look at the particular ebuild reveals you'll need this setting in /etc/make.conf:
WANT_MP="true"
Note: We usually set -j1 for a reason - if the package is prone to break otherwise. So you really shouldn't do this.
Speed up gcc invocation
Running just gcc is way slower than running gcc-4.2.0. If you can do it without gcc-config, put this in /etc/make.conf:
# Fill in your gcc version: CC="gcc-4.2.0" CXX="g++-4.2.0"
Note: This was a bug and is now fixed. No need to use this dirty hack.
