X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cf323eb924bf6a5b45e136f7afef91078d5b070d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fthess.git

optionally support parallel toolchain build. This defaults to off, because certain toolchain versions are known to break on parallel build. However, it significantly speeds up the build and latest versions of the tools do compile fine.
