Just for the record, the fork/exec backend is actually quite interesting,
especially, if GC3Pie properly does the task dependency aspects,
because you can also employ from inside a reserved node, can't you?
It allows you to easily breakdown the EB build workload on per toolchain basis
and keep things manageable on a batch system for which you have no wrapper
ready.
I've been following a related technique for many months and it can help nicely.
So, thumps up for fork/exec, if it is more advanced service than xargs/parallel!
cheers,
Fotis
