Hi!

----

Did anyone thought about splitting te "install" makefile target into
"install.compile" and "install.link" targets to improve parallism during
a parallel Os/Net build ?

The idea would be that the "install" target is done in two passes,
executed sequentially:
Pass 1: Run "install.compile" in parallel over the whole tree
Pass 2: Run "install.link" to do all the linking based on the existing
set of dependicies
The advantage would be that "install.compile" could compile even
usr/src/cmd/ and usr/src/lib/in parallel since dependicies on libraries
etc. is offloaded" to the "install.link" target.

Executing the "install" target manually in a directory would do both
"install.compile"+"install.link" sequentially
