Hi, I'm new to Arch community, so I don't know if there's a reason for not having this implemented yet. Whenever I'm trying to compile my own kernel or any other bigger package, makepkg command ends up taking much more time than it should because it doesn't compile with multiple parallel jobs. I implemented this simple patch that adds the -jN option to makepkg and then propagates two variables JOBS and JOBS_ARG to PKGBUILD. With this, the build scripts may support parallel jobs during compilation. E.g. to compile kernel, PKGBUILD could use 'make $JOBS_ARG all' instead of 'make all'. Comments are welcome.
