I think the OP was suggesting building ATLAS so that when it is later
run it can use multiple cores.
The above MAKE option merely impacts build time, which is an orthogonal problem.

I'm -1 to adding too many environment variables that impact the built
Sage, because it makes testing sage much, much more difficult, since
it leads to a combinatorial explosion in the number of different sage
versions we should test.
