Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2010 09:10:39 -0400 From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave.bueso@...il.com> To: torvalds@...ux-foundation.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] README: Add build speed up tip in BUILD section. Hi, IMHO the README file could benefit from GNU make's -j[N] option in BUILD section, as a general tip for users. Not entirely sure who deals with this file, so sending to Linus. Thanks.
