Do we have a FAQ where parallel make is explained? When does it work? Only when building libraries?
I regularly do "make -j2" from the top.  I don't see why a FAQ is
needed; it just works (at least with GNU make).  Are you using GNU
make?

[enterprise:~/objdir] andreas% which make
make:    aliased to /usr/local/bin/make

[enterprise:~/] andreas% make -v
GNU Make 3.80

Ah, I see, I have another make from /usr/ccs/bin. Renamed it and now I rocks!!

CPU states: 0.9% idle, 96.4% user, 2.1% kernel, 0.6% iowait, 0.0% swap

Thanks

Andreas
