Why not a camera2.conf file monitoring the same camera stream with
different parameters.

I've compiled motion 4.2.2 on an Odroid XU4 monitoring 2 IP cameras at
15 fps, and find the CPUs to be overloaded with "top" reporting ~300%,
After about 1/2 day of this, the XU4 suffers shutdown:

It occurs to me that the XU4's Samsung Exynos5422 Cortex???-A15 2Ghz and
Cortex???-A7 Octa core CPUs should be able to handle 2 IP cameras, so I'm
wondering please if there are any CFLAGS that can be passed to gcc 8.3.0
to make better use of the available processors. I don't have the
programming knowledge necessary to make changes to the C code, but can
apply a diff file if someone has one.

You don't need any flags, and there are no any flag that control
number of threads being used. You should be fine running 2, 3 and more
cameras depending on resolution and fps.
What is your issue? If it is "XU4 suffers shutdown" - then motion does
not control directly any shutdown process, check your hardware and OS

I have checked hardware and OS thoroughly in the Odroid user groups
before asking here, and everything works properly until motion is
running at 300+% CPU.
