just doing a simple `time make AnalogDevices/BF537-STAMP_default` here ... - with NON_SMP_BUILD set: ~8min - without NON_SMP_BUILD set (and the -j1 pieces removed): ~1.5min pretty consistent here ... +/-10seconds > If you have a patch, send it in and I'll try it here and see how bad it > is for our builds, if it's relatively isolated I am happy to fix up > some bits and include it, anything that speeds builds is good, i'm pushing this for our next-next release (so current development tree). only noticed net-tools failing so far (but i posted a patch for that) --- Do not force -j1 in subdirs and use -j$(HOST_NCPU) for _only targets.
