Public bug reported: All three different ways of specifying concurrency level
cd /usr/src/linux-x.x.x export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=16 make-kpkg --initrd --jobs 16 buildpackage make-kpkg --initrd -j 16 buildpackage make-kpkg --initrd -j16 buildpackage # not in man page, but common for GNU make don't show any parallelization which comes close to 5 % of the usual effect such a value for the `CONCURRENCY_LEVEL` has, i.e. I've experienced with all projects I've compiled so far with `-j16` option specified that all CPU cores are used 100 % during > 90 % of the time of the build, i.e. rarly more than 50 % usage of 1 or 2 cores. With `make- kpkg` I see for 5 minutes the same effect like when I omit the `-j` option.
