How are you compiling?
It works for me compiling in-tree with make -j3 (only 2 cores)

Will try it.

before recurse-all is necesary, because the sub-targets use
config-host.h (they don't use config-all-devices.h, but it don't hurt to
also generate it).

Not all of them.
configure-target.h and config-device.h is generated there.

ok, subdir-% already depends on them.

I am sending a new patch with you suggestions, it works for me (again).

on-tree and out-of-tree compilation with make -j (still on my laptop
with 2 cores).

Can you test my new series?

Later, Juan.
