Why do you want to force -j1 here?

And i had this proposal some months ago, which noone argued against any more 
(the default list may
of course be extended):

from 
http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_be89b62ad12881ce3dfe1d417ae80005.xml :

So what about this funcion for the next EAPI and also implementation in 
base.eclass?

default_src_install() {
        if [ -f Makefile ] || [ -f GNUmakefile ] || [ -f makefile ]; then
                emake DESTDIR="${D}" install || die "emake install failed"
        fi
        if [ -n "${DOCS}" ]; then
                dodoc ${DOCS} || die "dodoc failed"
        else
                for x in AUTHORS ChangeLog NEWS README; do
                        if [ -e ${x} ]; then
                                dodoc ${x} || die "dodoc ${x} failed"
                        fi
                done
        fi
}
