Hello!

| <NCommander> mach doesn't like being built with -j2

Indeed.  I installed the following to fix this:

fixes
                building GNU Mach with ``make -j2'' and higher.  The problem was
                reported by Michael Casadevall <sonicmctails@gmail.com>.

Then I built a GNU Mach kernel with ``make -j'', i.e. without any
limitation on the number of concurrent processes.  This threw my system
into heavy trashing, but the result was a GNU Mach kernel image with zero
difference from a ``make -j1'' built one.  :-)


Some data for the curious among you:

The system (a GNU/Linux one, I should mention) wasn't usable
interactively anymore, of course.  Does somebody want to try that on a
GNU/Hurd system?  ;-)
