This may be something more relevant to the LFS list, but have you heard about or tried the make 4.1 vfork patch (March 2015)? 0001-Fix-paralellism-by-reverting-to-use-of-vfork.patch: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?44555 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=33382 In one of the comments it was stated: "With make.git at 4.1-11-ga80a8b8, "make -j10" typically takes about 3 minutes. With the attached patch applied, "make -j10" typically takes about 11s." Although they are discussing increasing the performance of recent makes, perhaps it will also have an effect on segfaults with higher values of -j.
