The `--jobs` parameter that some scripts defined was not used anywhere
in jenkins or mantle. So the value of the parameter always ended up
being equal to `${NUM_JOBS}` set by `common.sh`. Also, even if the
`--jobs` parameter was used for some script, that script usually
didn't forward the jobs value to other scripts, so the other scripts
ended up using `${NUM_JOBS}` again. Also, the `${FLAGS_jobs}` variable
was used by some functions in the build library, and those functions
were sometimes invoked by scripts that didn't define the
`${FLAGS_jobs}` variable. It is tedious to track which script should
actually define the parameter, and where it should be forwarded.
Just get rid of this half-working pretense. If you want to affect how
many jobs `emerge` uses, export the `NUM_JOBS` environment variable
before calling any script.
For `EMERGE_FLAGS` and `REBUILD_FLAGS` we unconditionally specify the
`--jobs` flag's value to `${NUM_JOBS}` because they are passed to
`emerge`. On the other hand we drop the `--jobs` parameter from the
`UPDATE_ARGS` variable, because this variable passed to `setup_board`
or `update_chroot`, which don't have this flag any more.
Now, in the oem aci creation step we make use of the jobs param.
Without this flag, an empty string is passed to to emerge which results
in failure.

They end up using emerge_to_image which needs uses the `$FLAGS_jobs`
parameter. Seems like new portage does not like getting the parameter
like `--jobs=` (with an empty value).
Initially I moved the eclass to overlay and modified them there to
avoid making customizations in portage-stable, but for some reason
portage cannot locate these eclasses when building packages from
portage-stable.
This change is to avoid masked packages and resulting fromt that build
failures like:
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "x11-misc/makedepend" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-misc/makedepend-1.0.5::portage-stable (masked by: invalid: DEPEND: USE flag 'ppc-aix' referenced in conditional 'ppc-aix?' is not in IUSE)
Hopefully these customizations will go away once we update the
eclasses and packages that inherit these eclasses.
The updated portage-utils bring in two more tools, qmanifest and
qtegrity. They are pulling in some new dependencies. Since we didn't
have those tools before, we can live without them for a little while
longer.
