what's wrong with make -j4 ?
You are referring to a closed source solution.
I suspect Roy was referring to GNU make, which is still open source
isn't it?
"-j" has, for as long as I can remember, been the option to specify
parallel operation.

I don't believe /usr/ccs/bin/make (as shipped with Solaris) is parallel
capable.
The current SunStudio equivalent is dmake (= Distributed Make) which can
run parallel jobs, but AFAIK has the added bonus of being able to run on
multiple systems as well, further increasing the parallelism of your
build, although I've never used it this way myself.
