Of our 5256 ports, 326 (6.2%) indicate they can build in parallel,
and 33 (0.6%) indicate that they cannot. That leaves 4897 ports
(93.1%) which do not indicate whether a parallel build is possible or
not, and in this case, MacPorts will assume a parallel build is not
possible.
I would like to encourage port authors to indicate in their portfiles
whether parallel building is possible or not. I'm considering whether
we should add a check for this to "port lint". Hypothetical output:
$ port lint giflib
---> Verifying Portfile for giflib
Warning: Consider adding use_parallel_build
---> 0 errors and 1 warnings found.
