Parallel make

[Alastair Reid]

Since I have 2 processors and plently of memory, I thought I'd try
doing a parallel make of GHC:

  make all -j 2

This kind of command normally works great for other code (e.g., things
written in C and for which I have/can get accurate dependency
information) but I'm getting no parallelism when building GHC.

Have you explicitly turned parallel make off (e.g., because 
dependencies aren't sufficiently accurate)?

Is there any point in pursuing this?
