Thanks, -j is working with this version of make and the compile time is down 
from 7m45s to 4m30s.  I am a little confused about why mingw-make didn't work 
since in my test program it worked even if I did everything from cmd.exe. 
Comparing the MinGW and Unix Makefiles there seems to be nothing different 
except paths so it does seem that make was deciding to disable -j for some reason.

At any rate, it works this way.  Do you happen to have a patch that I can grab 
for the modification to make?
