Just for kicks I tried doing a 'make -j4 buildkernel' with KERNEL=SNP40 in /etc/make.conf and /boot/loader.conf. It works, that is the make finished without crashing. I dunno if the binary works, nor if the compile was substantially faster. So, superficially, parallel make of a kernel does work. It sure consumed a lot of resources for a few minutes though. My SETI run ran sloowly. -- Cheers!
