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!
