Script does effectively:

	make -k -j5 &>1.log

What's inside:

IIRC, I never saw this before.
Maybe something wasn't guaranteed before, but, hey, logs are crap now.

My automated builds effectively run a number of "make -j 1" builds in
parallel so I get sane parsable and readable logs.  I don't think we
give any guarantees for -j 2 or higher even though that would be highly
desirable when things go wrong.

I do this too, still -j1 is waste of time if only one compile is running
for whatever reason.

Meanwhile, bug dissapeared somewhere. :-\
