Makefile: update comment about top-level parallel Makefile
After the latest patches top-level parallel Makefile is working but there is still an issue when a package has an unspecified optional dependency so change the comment to explain that. Signed-off-by: Fabio Porcedda <fabio.porcedda@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>

# This top-level Makefile can *not* be executed in parallel

# Parallel execution of this Makefile is disabled because it changes
|

# the packages building order, that can be a problem for two reasons:
|
||||
# - If a package has an unspecified optional dependency and that
|
||||
# dependency is present when the package is built, it is used,
|
||||
# otherwise it isn't (but compilation happily proceeds) so the end
|
||||
# result will differ if the order is swapped due to parallel
|
||||
# building.
|
||||
# - Also changing the building order can be a problem if two packages
|
||||
# manipulate the same file in the target directory.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# Taking into account the above considerations, if you still want to execute
|
||||
# this top-level Makefile in parallel comment the ".NOTPARALLEL" line and
|
||||
# build using the following command:
|
||||
# make BR2_JLEVEL= -j$((`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN`+1))
