Follow-up Comment #5, bug #56701 (project make): Well gnulib is not what I call portable. So if the sysconf/getconf calls are not around to give us _NPROCESSORS_ONLN or even _NPROCESSORS_CONF then no way should some hack attempt be made to extract that data. No promise the data is available at all in a portable manner anyways and get_nprocs_conf should be entirely avoided. The "defacto" standard which has worked for the past three decades should not be messed with unless there exist some really amazingly solid arguments. As for a system exhausting all resources due to a badly specified set of parameters to "make" one could argue that any user can do worse damage with "rm -rf *" and that is the users issue entirely. Giving the user a hug should not be required here.
