[LTP] [PATCH v2 0/3] Speedup LTP compile time by ~20% on multi-machine

[Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.de>]

The following results show how this optimization moves compile times
really far from what we have now. With a single threaded build, LTP
would take approximately 12 minutes to compile. With a multi-threaded
build on 16 CPUs, this drops down to ~46 seconds.

time make -j16

Executed in   45.96 secs    fish           external
   usr time  519.11 secs    0.24 millis  519.11 secs
   sys time  167.13 secs    1.08 millis  167.13 secs
