Another approach I had in mind for some time is to just write out a makefile
with the test compile commands, and run that with make -j. Demo patch
attached. (I'm not seriously proposing this. For one thing, we probably
wouldn't want to introduce a dependency on make. But you could probably
write an equivalent ninja.build file.)
But this doesn't seem to buy very much. The overhead of the shell script to
write out the test files appears to become significant compared the the
actual compile commands.
Really? I tried editing the make line to have -j8 (your patch doesn't
have a -j switch at all there)
Note that the "+" I added to the targets in the top-level GNUmakefile.in
causes the make flags to passed down, so you can run make -jN
headerscheck etc. without having to edit or hardcode the make command
inside the script.
