[Buildroot] [PATCH v7 4/8] Makefile: allow top-level parallel build with BR2_PER_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=y

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Thomas, All,

On 2018-12-28 11:43 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> With per-package folder support, top-level parallel build becomes
> safe, so we can enclose the .NOTPARALLEL statement in a
> !BR2_PER_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES condition.
> 
> Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>

Acked-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
