Hi, I just tried the following.
1. Take a clean Sage-4.0.2 tarball and edit SAGE_ROOT/spkg/install replacing the line time make -f standard/deps $1 by time make -j20 -f standard/deps $1 2. make. This builds a whole bunch of different spkg's in parallel. At one point spkg/install gets overwritten. At another point something fails and the build fails. 3. Changed spkg/install again to use "-j20". Built some more by typing "make". 4. Again it fails eventually, after building most of sage pretty quickly. Finally, I change spkg/install back to the default (no -j20), and type "make". The build finishes and Sage works. This may be of interest to people who are interested in doing more efficient Sage builds.
