The picture is an exaggeration. India DOES NOT allow foreign military bases

Interesting… wasn’t aware of the unlimited jobs. thanks for the detailed explanation! :)

Using the exact number of cores I have as the argument (from /proc/cpuinfo) makes the compilation go smooth. Are you saying that without an argument, Make uses a very high default number that causes other processes to starve ? Nevertheless, kernel shouldnt allow such a situation as far as I understrand, and perhaps should be considered a bug in the kernel ?

Thanks for the response!

Thanks! At least I know what to search for now!

I stand corrected, fellow Lemmings :D

Precisely my thought!
