Use ``make -j`` to speed-up compilation by utilizing as many CPU cores
as possible or ``make -jN`` to allow at most *N* concurrent jobs.

Use ``make -jN`` to speed-up compilation by using as many CPU cores

as possible, where *N* is as many CPU cores you want to spare (and have
memory for). Be careful using ``make -j`` with no argument, as this puts
no limit on the number of jobs, and compilation can sometimes use up a

* ``make regen-configure`` updates the :cpy-file:`configure` script.
