Just because you have a working makefile for a single thread, doesn't mean you can use it for two. For example, any build rule that uses a fixed output filename that is eventually renamed to the target will not process properly in parallel if two instances of the rule are triggered, since the one output file will be overwritten. You can probably always get it to work *eventually*, but it's a fine art and requires much attention to detail, and isn't completely testable since the conflicts would happen randomly. -- Randal L.
