I'd like to agree on a plan with this patch series. At the latest
Buildroot Developer Day in Edinburgh, I think we agreed that:
(1) Enabling top-level parallel without having per-package sysroot was
not desirable, as it would make the builds non-reproducible.
(2) That being said, Fabio's patches have anyway a merit on their own
since they make things cleaner, and that therefore, patches 1 to 6
can be merged. Maybe patch 7 even if I'm not sure it makes sense
to have it without the top-level parallel build.
What do you think?
Best regards,
Thomas
