Running

make -f linux.mak

against the original makefile takes 3:27 on my machine. I tried this to speed up building by running 4 processes at once:

make -f linux.mak -j 4

However, there are errors because the makefile does not establish dependencies properly.

The attached makefile fixes that problem. With the changed makefile, the build time falls to 0:52 on my machine - a more than 3.5x speedup.

Walter, could you please check this in? Thanks!

I think my solution is a little more complete than yours, though I didn't do a diff of your changes, just a quick visual inspection.

I see a doubling of speed, but I've only got a dual core!

Is there maybe also a makefile for MinGW?
