Hi,
Currently, the instructions for firefox tell to pass
MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS='<number>' to the "make -f client.mk" commands.
It seems to me that it should be:
MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS='-j <number>'
And actually, when passing MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS='3', I get:
[...]
make 3 -j4 -C /sources/firefox/mozilla-release/firefox-build-dir
make[3]: Entering directory '/sources/firefox/mozilla-release'
make[3]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
make[3]: *** No rule to make target '3'. Stop
make[3]: leaving directory
'/sources/firefox/mozilla-release/firefox-build-dir'
/sources/firefox/mozilla-release/client.mk:392: recipe for target
'realbuild' failed
[...]
Also, according to the doc, it is possible to add a line:
|mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS="-j4"
to the mozconfig file (not tested). Wouldn't that be better?
It seems you missed:

Ooops, sorry, forgot about that. So just consider the first part of the
message (replacing "<number>" by "-j <number>").
I hated doing this modification, when there was also the optimization
problem yo be solved. It was done after many experimentations, not
because I "just wanted that". And I don't consider a solution, but a
workaround for a big in the code.
I tried 1, 2, 4, in mozconfig, always got it running make -j8.
Never thought about 3 or other odd integer.
number of cores+1... Anyway, not a big deal. In the doc, they say to go
up to 1.5*number of cores.
I've tried by hand, in script.
I have found that variable in several places of the source code and in
some places it seemed to ignore some values and force others, but, IIRC,
it was always for debian.
Thanks for all that. I am just building firefox right now for installing
icedtea-web, to try it with OJDK 8. It is a long overdue work, and I am
in a hurry to finalize it...
Maybe, I'll come back to that issue later to see if it is possible to
find a workaround.
Regards
Pierre
