>Description:
I had patched bsd.gecko.mk locally to set MOZ_OPTIONS to support parallel building, but with all the recent changes the local patch was removed.
Thunderbird takes 5 hours to build in a bulk run. It should take less than a hour. The reason is that it is building at -j1 even though MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER is set to 5.
Please fix bsd.gecko.mk or whatever to enable parallel building for this large port. It seems to be limited to Thunderbird. I haven't noticed a similar issue with FireFox or Seamonkey but I haven't been looking too hard either.
