Hi Igor, At this point it's really not a CMake question, but a GNU Make one... The answer is actually right there in the first warning that you got.
make[4]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add `+' to parent make rule. I have to admit that I'm not absolutely sure about all the subtleties of this, but I defined my own build rules in the past that call make themselves, like: core:: +(cd core; make) With this, GNU Make is able to distribute the jobs between the subdirectories. (I have a number of such targets in my main Makefile.)
