commit 7086a908076b3dae6016058eaaebf214d18b2c5b Author: Patrick Georgi patrick@georgi-clan.de Date: Sat Nov 5 14:44:41 2011 +0100
abuild: Build boards in parallel if possible
Determine if xargs -P works. If yes, use that to build multiple boards in parallel, instead of relying on make -j X, when doing a full abuild run (instead of single boards).
make -j X isn't able to make use of several cores at various serialization points in our build process, so this change results in a >25% speed up for a full abuild run in my tests.
