That's probably overkill. All I know is I've previously been burnt by both GCC and Glibc with `-j3' on 2 cores. And considering the importance of these packages, I take no chances and just add the `-j1'. Note the comment in followup to this: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-03/msg00000.html I guess for everything else, if breakage is discovered, fix the Makefile :-) Failing that, then add the`-j1'. I've only had 4 cores for a short while and with 6 cores entering the mainstream who knows..
