Hi -
The following patches, on git://sourceware.org/git/pcpfans.git
fche/make-j improve pcp build times for multiprocessor machines. This
is follow-on work from much older commits de9f1e5cd and 91917ccf3, and
benefits even ordinary Makepkgs and top level make. Some directories
and operations remain non-parallelized, but the core build is
considerably faster - apprx. half time on a 4vcpu box.

build GNUmakefiles: allow more parallel (make -j) jobs
For GNU make's -jNNN to propagate from an outer parent make to child
processes, macros that invoke $(MAKE) internally need to be decorated
with a "+" prefix. On a 4 vcpu machine, this allows the complete pcp
tree to be built in less than half the time.
There are still some ".NOTPARALLEL:" markers in a few GNUmakefiles
that lack full dependency declarations, and subdirectory make jobs
tend to be invoked serially (due to the use of explicit shell-script
loops), so we have some further potential speedups too.

rpm build scripts: use make %{?_smp_mflags} for faster building
On SMP build hosts, we should benefit from the available parallelism.
