Yes, but I meant this to be a per-Portfile choice so a maintainer

much. ;)
It is supposed to be the default... But broken ports might need
some way of
signalling so, maybe "build.jobs 1".
The bug could also be reported upstream, so that a ".NOTPARALLEL:"
is added to the Makefile.
Well, this simply is not going to work -- this has to be an opt-in,
not an opt-out option!
If you do not know if a parallel build will work for a port, you must
assume it won't.
Once upon a day when we see that 80% of our ports all have that
"build_in_parallel yes" option set, we can make it the default, but
not as long as only _very_ few do. Otherwise we'd have to tag all our
Portfiles with the "dont_even_think_about_a_parallel_build yes"
option the moment we release version 1.6 and gradually remove them
for the one we know to work...
