From http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writ ... index.html;

The emake function should be used to call make. This will ensure that the user's MAKEOPTS are used correctly. The emake function passes on any arguments provided, so it can be used to make non-default targets (emake extras), for example. Occasionally you might encounter a screwy non-autotools Makefile that explodes with emake, but this is rare.

The command is: /usr/lib/portage/bin/emake

Which simply contains;

Code: Select all

exec ${MAKE:-make} ${MAKEOPTS} ${EXTRA_EMAKE} "$@"

So it really is just a wrapper for make.
