That is certainly not the case, look more carefully and you'll note that it will start compiling tons of sources at once, the problem is just that there is one file that takes significantly longer to compile than any other (asan_interceptors.cc), and with multilib it is compiled 4 times effectively sequentially (because, libtool always compiles the -fPIC and non-pic versions one after each other), and multilib variants are also serialized.
