[Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD]

use PARALLEL_JOBS=x for this

This will overwrite the value in BR2_JLEVEL

why not just use make BR2_JLEVEL=x ?

kconfig overwrite and you can not optarg env as BR2_JLEVEL is a int

so need to use PARALLEL_JOBS

Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying here. BR2_JLEVEL works
fine:

make BR2_LEVEL=42
...
/usr/bin/make -j42 CC="/home/peko/source/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/arm-linux-gcc" ..

here does not work

I try this

with a value of BR2_JLEVEL at 4

BR2_JLEVEL=13 make

...
/usr/bin/make -j2 -C /opt/work/buildroot/build/test/toolchain/gcc-4.6.3-initial all-gcc

I want to pass the JLEVEL via env not make option

Best Regards,
J.

Use make -e (--environment-overrides)?  I dunno, things might break
depending on what's in your environment.  But if your use case has this
constraint hopefully you are able to sanitize your environment before
invoking Buildroot.

That doesn't work. Variables defined on the make commandline take
precedence over definitions in makefiles, but environment variables
don't (and should not, stuff would break all the time).

Just use make BR2_JLEVEL=$BR2_JLEVEL to get your shell to expand the
variable for you.

issue I can not do so

and env var are use commonly linux/barebox I expect this on buildroot too
