I'm now building again. One thing to note is I'm wondering how to do 
parallel make without specifying MAKEOPTS in the cygport file. I know 
this is worse for debugging but it saves a lot of time.

If I specify "MAKEOPTS="-j12" cygport [...]" it has no effect, but it 
also seems to have no effect if I run "export MAKEOPTS="-j12"" then it 
also has no effect. Is there anything else I can try?

Best,

Hamish
