The gmake documentation states clearly that there is no build-time impact
from output synchronization. So it seems that the behavior I am seeing in
that regard is a gmake bug. Beyond that, how can I actually achieve
effective parallelism with nested makefile invocations? Is the behavior I am
seeing
We are using a standard distro of gmake 4.1 on RH 6.4.
We have a fairly well structured makefile system that leverages the ACE make
framework. A linear build (-j1) is about 3 hours. Running a parallel build
that builds leaf nodes (libraries) in parallel is about 1 hour. So far so
good.
But when I
