ebuild-writing/.../src_test: Do not encourage make, use 'emake -j1' instead
Replace the call to 'make' with 'emake -j1'. This was an old, bad
recommendation. Furthermore, remove the whole paragraph suggesting
not to use emake -- nowadays, most of the test suites work fine
in parallel.

Try to ensure that tests work properly for your ebuild. A good test
suite is extremely helpful for arch maintainers.
