Sat 12 Sep 2009 10:37:48 PM UTC, comment #1: What I would prefer to see is the ability to enable parallelism by adding -jN to the MAKEFLAGS variable, inside the makefile. That gives the same feature, while not having to introduce any new constructs. It's also, arguably, the first thing someone will try if they want to do this.

One problem I have hit repeatedly in community-maintained free software projects is regressions in parallel building, both from the maintainers (who may not be explicitly specifying -jX) or from new contributors (who may not even know about -jX or whether the project supports parallel builds).

Yes, that would be a more flexible solution. This way N in -jN can come from all kinds of sources (e.g., from user's .profile).
