I should have been clearer-- I'm talking about building open source software, like Apache and PHP. We build both 32- and 64-bit versions, and in the case of PHP, we end up building *4* times (32/64-bit for Apache 1.3, 32/64-bit for Apache 2.2). It gets tedious when building on a V210 with 1.0GHz US-IIIi. :) > In the much more complex software I work on, I got > it to compile about 25% of the time by getting dmake setup to have > multiple *.c files compiled in parallel on a 8-thread CPU.

I've not used dmake before, so I'll check it out.
