Details:
Hi. I have this trivial Makefile:
%:
echo Starting $@ || true
timeout 5 bash -c 'while true; do true; done' || true
echo Done $@ || true
It's meant to spin the cpu for 5 seconds for each target being built. I can
ask for 5 simultaneous jobs with something like 'seq 1000 | xargs -n1000 make
-j5' and this command should always redline 5 CPUs. If I give 'make -j'
instead of 'make -j5' I would expect it to redline ALL my CPUs, but I see it
not do any parallelization at all instead. If the Makefile contains normal
(not pattern) rules, then it works how I would expect.
