Worked like a charm. It even shaved almost 18 seconds (!) (;-)) off my build time: Old make: $ time make [...] real 23m30.751s user 3m57.150s sys 3m2.379s New make (i.e. the one from your link, but stripped): $ time make [...] real 23m13.115s ^^------------ 18 seconds saved (approx. 1%) user 3m56.285s sys 3m2.261s So, I shall take that 18 seconds to also thank you for your great work. ;-) -- Gary R.
