Description Paul Eggleton 2015-04-09 13:40:45 UTC 
Most of the time it's fine to run with parallelism enabled (particularly PARALLEL_MAKE), however, if you're trying to debug an issue with the actual makefiles/build scripts you often need to disable it. We ought to provide an option to "devtool build" to turn it off.

bitbake -r (or -R ? ) would let you specify a file for overriding env vars. As suggested by Paul.
