In general I run away from parallel builds for my software because they cause headaches, forcing one to really sort the dependency graph manually so as not to break anything. Incidentally you complain about ECL's long build time, but parallel build will NOT help you. Since in Sage you already use a previously built GMP library (or whatever variant) the largest chunk of time is spent in running ECL's compiler, a process that CAN NOT be parallelized, due to delicate dependencies in bootstrapping code. In any case I am surprised to read that ECL's build time is the bottleneck. On my laptop it takes just 1+2 minutes to build it and it is a slow OS X machine (32 bits). What build flags are you using?
