I tried with a '-j4' added in the Makefile.am. Of course it speeds up 
the compilation of all components written in Gambas, but as it's not a 
big part of the full process, the global time gain is small.

Anyway, if I want to use that new option, it must be a global configure 
paramater, as AFAIK there is no standard way of knowing the number of 
available cores on Unix (Linux + *BSD + ...).
