In my CI setup on CircleCi, the project is allowed to use something like 4-8 cpu cores. However, the underlying hardware seems to have 36 cores, which the C++ cmake grpc code somehow detects. The C++ grpc code then builds with 36 workers which leads to the build being killed due to what seems like OOM errors, see log below.
I have tried to play with setting several environment variables before starting the build of my Rust project that depends on grpc-rs such as
but none of these seem to be picked up by the C++ cmake project.
Expected behavior
Ideally I'd want to be able to explicitly specify the number of build workers allowed due to the way CircleCi works (reporting 36 cores available even though project is really only allowed to use 4 of those 36).

How about cargo build -j 4? I think it's controlled by NUM_JOBS and cmake-rs will read the variable. cargo overwrites NUM_JOBS variable for build script, so setting it manually won't work.
