If developers really think that parallel compiling would be useful for them, then there should be an option in fink to control it's usage.I agree, and that was my original suggestion... when I brought it up on IRC, it got nixed though. I think the fear is having "wildcard bloat", where there's billions of %options, but I think the real solution is to allow multi-character keywords in info files for less-important options like this.
If there was a %makeflags option, it would be totally opt-in, for packages that are known to compile properly with multiple makes going, and a fink configuration file option could be used to override for those that don't want that behavior.
The other suggestion, using the -l load option, seems good to me, too. I could configure my build flag to not have the load bit in it's make flags, and the default fink config could throttle make to a load of 1 or two or something.
