Right.  Sorry, I hadn't set out to ask and the question came out a
little ambiguous.  What I *should* have asked was whether the Xen build
as a whole, or even just the "make kernels" part, was known to work
with a parallelized build.  I can't recall what long-ago experience
made me think it might be a problem.
