Hi Paolo,

thanks for the patch.  I just saw Joseph's okay, but I believe there
is one minor detail left.

Specifically, in the sentence above we have "which is" (singular) versus "support" (plural) which confused me a bit when first reading the change.

Joseph as a native speaker will be in a much better position to advise
whether to use singular or plural here, but I believe the two uses should
be in sync.
If rephrasing the sentence as

GNU Make supports building in parallel starting from version 3.79, which is anyway necessary to build GCC.

is ok, I'm pretty sure this is correct ("which" refers to "version").

Paolo
