Also, any place where PARALLEL_DIRS can't be used probably has some assumptions on the order things are being traversed. Typical example: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mozglue/moz.build "build" needs to be last. I'm not saying this can't be fixed, it will just require a lot more work on the build system.
