How about a note about parallel builds in the installation manual. "If you intend to do a parallel build and you are concerned about some (very unlikely) race conditions in 'configure', we suggest that you do configure make -j1 configure-build make -j6000 all-build make -j1 configure-host make -j6000 all-host make -j1 configure-target make -j6000 all-target" Or something like that. And fix up the Makefile so that one can actually do that (which is not much work at all). Personally, I think that should suffice. :-/ Other people agree? --Nathanael
