Thanks for your patch, and sorry for the delay in getting back to
you. We took advantage of the on-going Buildroot Developers Meeting to
(finally) have a discussion around your contribution. We believe the
feature is definitely useful, however the hand-written implementation
of the parallelization seems a bit tricky. Can you instead use
something like GNU Parallel which is designed for that?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
