Look into the file <prefix>/lib/openpkg/rpmtool. There is a section "mflags" where for particular operating systems the number of CPUs is determined, the make variant is determined, and according to those two information the flags for a "parallel make" procedure is activated. If you add a section there for AIX most packages (those using "%{l_mflags -O}") will build with parallel make procedures. If it works, please contribute back the section you added. Ralf S.
