Comment:

 I've now built this 110 times, on the following hardware:

  * Sun Ultra 27
  * 3.33 GHz Intel Xeon processor
  * 12 GB RAM
  * !OpenSolaris 06/2009.
  * Local hard drives using 128-bit ZFS file system.

 The method used was:

  * Use 4 previous builds of Sage (different, but fairly recent versions)
  * Copied the {{{singular-3-1-1-4.p2.spkg}}} package to
 {{{$SAGE_ROOT/spkg/standard}}}
  * Created a script to run {{{ sage -f singular-3-1-1-4.p2.spkg}}}
  * set MAKE="make -j2" in one directory
  * set MAKE="make -j12" in two different directories.
  * set MAKE="make -j30" in another directory.

 I did '''not''
  * Test the package with {{{SAGE_CHECK=yes}}}
  * Run any doctests.

 So at any one time, 4 builds of singular would take place, each in
 parallel, with either 2, 12 or 30 threads. The load average of the machine
 changed from around 9 to 11, but averaged about 10.  Each build took just
 over 6 minutes, but since 4 builds were taking place in parallel, this was
 an average build time of about 1.5 minutes/build.

 So there does not appear to be any parallel build issues.

 So positive review.
