Yes, I wouldn't expect much build time difference because this doesn't really increase the parallelism other than for a couple of the early-build libraries. It does add new dependencies that weren't expressed before and were apparently just accidentally not causing problems for anyone. The parallelism in the bootstrap stuff in Makefile.inc1 is done with a different-but-similar mechanism, and it would be nice to fix that to just use bsd.subdir.mk instead of almost-duplicating it inline. That's on a longer-term to-do list for me. -- Ian
