To build ports in parallel on a 4 core machine, I usually do this manually: # cd /usr/ports/some/port # make configure && make -j5 build && make install clean because all steps except "make build" are not compatible with -jN (some ports don't work with -jN in the "make build" phase either, but they are quite rare). Now, is there a way to teach portmaster to build or rebuild ports this way? The only workaround for now is something like: # cd /usr/ports/some/port # make configure && make -j5 build # portmaster -b -d -C <name-of-some/port-in-pkg-var-db> which doesn't clean up some/port/work before building, thus using the manual parallel step before. So, how can portmaster run 'make -jN build' instead of simple 'make build'? (I know about portmaster's -m option, but passing -jN to it won't work, as it would also try to apply this to other phases than "make build").
