How do I give maximum niceness (+19) to makepkg?

How do I give maximum niceness (+19) to makepkg?

Is there a setting in makepkg.conf?

I am looking for the equivalent:

PORTAGE_NICENESS = 19

from Gentoo's make.conf.

or if makepkg is already running

renice 19 -p `ps -ef | awk '/[m]akepkg/ {print $2}'`

Thank you.

So I assume a permanent solution would be an alias into my normal user's ".bashrc" file.
