Is there a way to detect parallel make usage

that the make will work?


Is this a hypothetical problem or are there some testers around using
parallel make? I would expect that many distributions break on parallel
make...

I remember Florian Ragwitz ( FLORA ) toying around with it and asking on
IRC about general smoking stuff. Not sure if he is actually running a
parallel smoker :)

It's also on my todo list to run a smoker like that someday... *evil grin*

Someone is trying (don't know if they are a smoker) but failing horribly:

Output from 'C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE -j 3 -j 3':

Usage:
dmake.EXE [-P#] [-{f|K} file] [-{w|W} target ...] [macro[!][[*][+][:]]=value
