Sorry.  The processor is an Intel Core i5-2410M @ 2.30GHz.

I'll try a parallel build.  BTW, a plain "-j" option seem to be a good
choice;  according to the GNU Make manual it will dynamically
determine how many parallel recipes can be run:

  `-j [JOBS]'
  `--jobs[=JOBS]'
       Specifies the number of recipes (jobs) to run simultaneously.
       With no argument, `make' runs as many recipes simultaneously as
       possible.  If there is more than one `-j' option, the last one is
       effective.  *Note Parallel Execution: Parallel, for more
       information on how recipes are run.  Note that this option is
       ignored on MS-DOS.
