We did used to steer clear of this but more recently tested it out and with a few exceptions (which we disabled with PARALLEL_MAKEINST=""), parallel make install seems to work fine and did give a small but measurable speed-up (I'd have to look at the archives to remember what). It helps that we use the latest automake everywhere and regenerate all the makefiles ourselves. So whilst I agree with this from a historical perspective, times so seem to be changing and improving. If there are issues I do want to know about and deal with them though.
