Hi!
I noticed on guix.bordeaux.inria.fr, which builds guix-cran, that R
build processes would unconditionally use all the available cores
(specifically, launching one R process per core), ignoring the value of
‘parallel-job-count’.
I believe all r-* packages are affected.
On IRC, Ricardo wrote:

<rekado> the build system uses R CMD INSTALL, which in turn uses
install.packages(); that procedure takes an argument Ncpus, which by
default is whatever getOption("Ncpus") returns (or 1). [16:16]
<rekado> that’s used as an argument to ‘make‘ (if it needs to be called)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Maybe we should set that ‘Ncpus’ option to what ‘parallel-job-count’
returns?
