Argh. Not being able to build Webkit in parallel would be quite
annoying: it's a really huge package, so building in parallel brings a
significant build time reduction.
Regarding the bug in 2.4.3, it seems to be potentially a bug in make
itself, because make takes 100% of CPU time and is completely stuck. I
have compiled a host make with debugging symbols, but I haven't had the
time to reproduce the build.

Great!

Purely historical reasons I believe.
