  With this patch, I tried to optimize the build (because it really takes
a long time if I compile from scratch for testing).
Nowadays, most packages are already optimizing for parallel build. I was
testing the build on an 8 core system (i.e., MAKETUNING is -j9).

I also found out something else, the collectd package build crashes when
libstatgrab is already built:
https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues/445

Someone else already noticed this on the list, without discovering the
cause. An upgrade of collectd would be required to solve this problem.
Since I am not sure for what collectd is actually used (and a major
upgrade would be required), I did not perform this.

Speed-up:
Package | Before | After
boost | 1:20:41 | 13:39
cyrus-imapd | 3:50 | 0:48
dnsdist | 5:23 | 1:18
gcc | 46:15 | 11:29
gettext | 9:55 | 4:56
gutenprint | 3:14 | 1:22
ipfire-netboot | 9:33 | 2:07
krb5 | 5:28 | 1:27
lcd4linux | 1:04 | 0:27
netsnmpd | 8:00 | 3:33
nut | 1:59 | 0:21
openssl | 7:57 | 2:37
rrdtool | 1:31 | 0:32
samba | 5:03 | 0:55
slang | 1:04 | 0:19
snort | 5:11 | 0:56
xfsprogs | 5:41 | 1:46

I also marked packages that (in their current version) crash when being
built in parallel. I performed multiple builds (and tested the ISO
image), so I hope that this patch is reliable for everyone.
Nevertheless, please test the patch on different build environments
before applying it.
