Hija, In install.texi one can find: "If you have a multiprocessor system you can use @samp{make bootstrap MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2} or just @samp{make -j 2 bootstrap} for GNU Make 3.79 and above instead of just @samp{make bootstrap} when building GCC@. You can use a bigger number instead of two if you like. In most cases, it won't help to use a number bigger than the number of processors in your machine." I find the last sentence somewhat misleading because in fact a parallel build is often faster than a single process build because of the latency hit when reading an uncached file, especially on NFS systems. This is true iff the machine has enough memory to cover all processes and data. What about: "In most cases, using a value bigger than the number of processors in your machine will result in smaller latency hits to read the source files thus improving overall throughput; this is especially true for slow harddrives and network filesystems." -- Servus, Daniel
