Summary0003316: Allow compiles concurrent, but not linking.
DescriptionIn usermake there is a feature that is needed for distributed compiling. Its a feature that allows similar results to make -j, but with a twist; the compile jobs are started concurrently but the buildsystem makes sure there is only one link-job going on at the same time.

The result of this is that the multiple compiles go into the compile farm (and don't cause any load on my local CPU) and the linking, which is always done locally will not overload the system because there is only one.

I only care for such a system for the (g)make target.

 This is more difficult to do, but we are thinking about ideas. Perhaps some sort of mutex that is put around the linking stuff. There is not a good way to do it from the makefiles. If you have any suggestions on how to implement this with gmake, post them here.

 Sending issues I'm not actively working on to the backlog to await someone with time for them.

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it:

 http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer or contributor who has the bandwidth to take it on.
