Parallel _install_ is problematic from time to time (I never do that) and openssl is something where I use -j1 to build it because it often fails parallel builds on some machines.
From my personal experience, parallel builds on less-powerful hardware (e.g. my A10 Kaveri using -j4, compared to my i7 Haswell using -j8) are more likely to find problems. Oh, and if anybody here is using LFS-dev but not reading the development lists, make-4.2 breaks several parallel builds (e.g. git, firefox) : patch is in lfs-patches. ĸen -- I had to walk fifteen miles to school, barefoot in the snow.
