Re: improvements for parallel makes ?

[Alexey Neyman]

Cristophe,

Thanks for the interest in this feature. As you might have seen from 
further discussion, this suggestion was turned down on the basis that 
recursive builds are inherently flawed and therefore, GNU make won't 
incorporate any feature to help those who maintain such builds.

I'd be glad to know that my conclusions are wrong, though. If there is 
an interest from GNU make maintainers, I could update the patch to 
apply to the current make version.

Regards,
Alexey.
