Is a parallel build of openwrt possible ?
A simple 'make -j3' does not work.

I've just checked out revision 12770 and do a simple make -j3, but only one core is loaded, and top shows only one cc running.
Certain elements of the build process (toolchain compilation) are not parallelized currently, but once it gets to the kernel and package compilation you should see better utilization of your system.
Just as you post it, all cores gets loaded, thanks.
The discussion might have continued from here.
