Please note, FreeBSD 4.7 falls outside the FreeBSD versions I listed. > Not `BSD user', but just `user'. We can't take somethink that was > used back in FreBSD 3.0 as common and expected thing.

I expect the "make obj" or "make depend" step to just happen nicely and quietly. But instead its there. > - I do not expect behaviour change compared to previous version Eh?

The answer there has aways to be build multiple ports at the same time. And so many ports aren't tested for '-j' builds it is naive to think the vast majority of ports would build with '-j'.
