Better paralellize the compiler :-)
In theory yes but I still fear that the threadvars and synchronization
eats much of the advantage in this case.
I don't see why there would be more synchronization overhead than make?
In a parallelized compiler symtables etc. might be shared and this might
require a lot of synchronization to prevent data corruption.
With make, the different units can be seperated much better by a human
than the compiler can do.
Not to mention the huge effort it would be to get the compiler
parallelized internally.
