Yes, it is meant to emphasize the parallel nature. Gary builds
routinely with 8 cores on his box and it cuts down the build time in a
linear fashion.

Doing "sage -ba" sorted that out. Here is the result of --testall:
The following tests failed:
sage -t devel/sage/sage/server/simple/twist.py
sage -t devel/sage/sage/dsage/tests/testdoc.py
Both passed when rerun separately.

I think Sage is awesome. I've started using it in my research. I've
been using it to teach classes, and I've even forced my students to

Yes, Sage has lots of bugs, but at least I get to see the code, and if
I'm motivated then I can even fix it myself. I

The symlink is needed only after make completes when you try to run

If you export SAGE_PBUILD=yes before you run make (so that it uses
pbuild from the beginning) it is necessary to link site-packages
yourself with the following command from $SAGE_ROOT:
ln -s devel/sage/build/sage/ local/lib/python/site-packages/sage
This will be fixed in rc0.
