Not passing EXTRA_OEMAKE to make is a mistake I've seen a few times. The following proposed changes should hopefully clear it up:


Add between "...represents the maximum number of parallel threads make can run" and "by default, the OpenEmbedded..." in the glossary entry for PARALLEL_MAKE:

  Caution {
  In order for PARALLEL_MAKE to be effective, 'make' must be called with
  ${EXTRA_OEMAKE}. An easy way to ensure this is to use the oe_runmake function.
  }


Add before the Note in the glossary entry for PARALLEL_MAKEINST:

  Caution {
  In order for PARALLEL_MAKEINST to be effective, 'make' must be called with
  ${EXTRA_OEMAKE}. An easy way to ensure this is to use the oe_runmake function.
  }


Add the following to the end of the EXTRA_OEMAKE glossary entry:

  [PARALLEL_MAKE] and [PARALLEL_MAKEINST] also make use of EXTRA_OEMAKE to pass
  the required flags.


Cheers,
