@section Building in parallel
If you have a multiprocessor system you can use @samp{make bootstrap
MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2} or just @samp{make -j 2 bootstrap}
for GNU Make 3.79 and above instead of just @samp{make bootstrap}
when building GCC@. You can use a bigger number instead of two if
you like. In most cases, it won't help to use a number bigger than
the number of processors in your machine.
You can use @samp{make bootstrap MAKE="make -j 2" -j 2}, or just

@samp{make bootstrap} to build GCC in parallel.
You can also specify a bigger number, and in most cases using a value
greater than the number of processors in your machine will result in
fewer and shorter I/O latency hits, thus improving overall throughput;
this is especially true for slow drives and network filesystems.
