Does 2.7.1 not use parallel compilation any more? I just compiled

packages units).
You now also have to add FPMAKEOPT="-T 5". The reason is that the packages are
now compiled by fpmake, and GNU make unfortunately has no way to query the value of the
-j parameter inside a makefile so it cannot be automatically passed on to fpmake.
Although on unix (Linux, Solaris) it's not too difficult to extract the
top-level make command line from ps output; I've not checked but this is
presumably also in the /proc tree.
