You can set "MAKEFLAGS=-j3" or similar in your environment, but it's
really not recommended.
I think it's necessary to tell why its not recommend it: because many
makefiles are insufficiently sedt up to correctly allow multiple
cpu's to
work side by side.
Well, didn't I just say that above?
I assure you that "not safe to compile in a multithreaded fashion"
means pretty much the same thing as "not set up to correctly allow
multiple CPU's to work side by side". :-)
