I'd like to agree on a plan with this patch series. At the latest Buildroot Developer Day in Edinburgh, I think we agreed that: (1) Enabling top-level parallel without having per-package sysroot was not desirable, as it would make the builds non-reproducible. (2) That being said, Fabio's patches have anyway a merit on their own since they make things cleaner, and that therefore, patches 1 to 6 can be merged. Maybe patch 7 even if I'm not sure it makes sense to have it without the top-level parallel build. What do you think?
