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. > It looks like version 2.6.0 is on its way.
