Just to mention another effect of the recent changes:
make 3.81, Centos 5.5
On a dual quadcore system where I used to built with -j 16, it now only succeeds with -j 8.
(I seem to remember that 16 as opposed to 8 shaved a couple of seconds off, although I'm not quite
sure anymore)
make -j 16 gives:
cc1: error: thread.c: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** [thread.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [submake-libpq] Error 2
make[2]: *** [all-pg_ctl-recursive] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-bin-recursive] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

( A similar effect I see on a dual core fedora system (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686), where -j 16 always
ran, but now it needs -j 4 or less (it also has make 3.81) )
