There's other things that, from what I understand, shouldn't be made with -j, such as make depend when compiling the kernel (though, I've heard both sides of that argument). It seems that being able to put in the makefile whether a certain section could be parallelized would save a lot of people a lot of headaches. dB! On Wed, Nov 17, 1999 at 12:00:34AM +0900, Daniel C.
