But manually, if I'm correct ?
Yes.
But what happens if 2 units use each other ?
The dependencies are specified at the package level, not at the unit
level. A package is either compiled completely sequentially, or
completely in parallel (if none of the units depend on others, like with
univint package).
Please note that I'm not complaining, merely reporting what I've seen.
I've not checked yet to what extent the build will recover if restarted,
I think I remember a Linux kernel build failing in some cases on large
systems but sorting itself out if the make command was rerun.
