GNU Make 3.81 that is part of the official MSYS distribution does not support parallel execution. That is what you are experiencing. nt/INSTALL.MSYS says: If/when you are confident in your MinGW/MSYS installation, and want to speed up the builds, we recommend installing a pre-release version of Make from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingwbuilds/files/external-bina= ry-packages/ These are snapshot builds of many packages, but you only need make.exe from there. The advantage of this make.exe is that it supports parallel builds, so you can use "make -j N" to considerabl= y speed up your builds This describes the version of Make I use, which identifies itself as 3.82.90, and it does support parallel jobs.
