That doesn't do the same thing; `make all check install' stops if one of the targets fails to build, not proceeding to the next. You have to replace the `;' with `&&' in your version to achieve the same with the shell. (I pointed this out in my original email to the list.) To repeat, `./configure && make all check install' is standard usage; -j breaks this. It would be nice if there was a simple way to achieve parallelism only within the build of each of the argv[] targets, not across them.
