Hello,
I've seen there was some discussion about parallelizing configure in
2011 which seems to have come up through a talk at fosdem 2011 I've
missed: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2011-02/msg00036.html
Because in most of todays build processes configure is one of the few
parts which still don't take advantages through multiple processors, I
want to ask if there has been some progress on that topic?
No one has come forth with patches, and the problem is a lot trickier
than you would think. I'm not holding my breath for this to happen any
time soon.
