I've been building with make -j8 with no issues since version 2.2.0.
Prior to this version I was using the following (as per BLFS book at the
time):
until make -j$(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN)
do
if (( $((error_count++)) > 4 ))
then
echo Too Many Errors
break
fi
done
My current build time is 41 minutes.

Wayne.
