I am curious as to whether or not there is a SMP enabled version of make for FreeBSD. I was recompiling my kernel yesterday and the fact that it only spooled onto one processor annoyed me. Now although optimizing an actual compiling operation for SMP is very difficult, is there (or why isn't there) a make that will spool as many gcc operations at once as you specify, or just as many as cpu's exist? Seems that this combined with a ramdisk containing kernel source would take make times from 8 mins down to about 3 (with HyperThreading).
