Then don't do that.
If you want to support parallel makes, feel free to contribute the
patches. Make sure you test all the targets, with all supported
makes, with and without --srcdir.
Isn't that weird? I used to do parallel makes all the time in 1998 or
so. I wonder when they broke?
However, I don't think it's worth it.
It's more than worth it if you work on a multi-CPU box, especially if
you're a developer who needs to build XEmacs many times a day. For
end users, it probably doesn't make a difference.
