However, I'm pretty sure that we don't want to switch the *entire*

able to do is have some critters that people spin up for this precise
purpose.  Just like we currently have CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS buildfarm
members, we could have GRATUITOUSLY_PARALLEL buildfarm members.  If
Andrew is willing to add buildfarm support for that option and a few
people are willing to run critters in that mode, I will be happy -
more than happy, really - to put the test code into committable form,
guarded by a #define, and away we go.




If all that is required is a #define, like CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS, then no special buildfarm support is required - you would just add that to the animal's config file, more or less like this:

     config_env =>
     {
         CPPFLAGS => '-DGRATUITOUSLY_PARALLEL',
     },

I try to make things easy :-)


cheers
