Checking the makefile, I see that "make installcheck" uses the serial schedule, while "make check" uses the parallel one. Is this intentional? I see this dates to the time those rules were invented, GNUmakefile 1.24 ... Maybe there should be rules to do a install-parallel and install-serial, and others to do temp-install-parallel and temp-install-serial ... or maybe just use some envvar to select the schedule to use. -- Alvaro Herrera (<alvherre[a]dcc.uchile.cl>) "I personally became interested in Linux while I was dating an English major who wouldn't know an operating system if it walked up and bit him."
