Makefiles need to be very precise to allow parallel building to work
correctly. Some packages do have appropriate Makefiles and there we
use a command like:
%{l_make} %{l_mflags -O}
to select a parallel build (usually 'make -j 4') automatically. For
other packages a parallel build is likely to fail, in particular
when running on SMP machines with fine-grain locking like Sun Enterprise
boxes running Solaris.
