A few packages won't build in parallel (openssl) and some packages sometimes fail to compile with a parallel build (xmlto) but pretty much everything else is fine with make -j$NUMBER > 2, Can we build Chapter 5 with parallel compiling but do not use > parallel compiling in the rest Chapters (includes Chapter 6 and Chapter > 8)? I use make -j4 all the time. Doesn't give me any problems. I've had some problems in the past with "make -j4 install" not installing all of glibc's files so I now avoid installing in parallel. "make install" is mostly limited by disc input/output so I see no benefit in "make -j4 install". Consequently I don't set MAKEFLAGS as it risks breaking "make install" for little benefit. YMMV.
