''
Sorry, I think I was not clear. What I meant was that most of the time
compiling maxima is spent compiling code written in lisp. This code is
compiled in order using a "Makefile-like" process called asdf (or
mk:defsystem, depending on which you prefer) and this is a serial
process.''
''There are projects like XCVB that have tried to do this in parallel for
building large lisp images, but it's not clear how much success they've
had.''

So it looks like we wont gain much trying to build in parallel and as I've
shown, at least installing in parallel is unsafe.
