Is this a hypothetical problem or are there some testers around using
parallel make? I would expect that many distributions break on parallel
make...
Not hypothetical. A number of test reports for
PDL had GNU make with the -j option. We recently
tracked down the missing dependencies so parallel
compiles with GNU make work again.
