Parallel build not working since -test6?

[Adam Kropelin]

Lately I've noticed my kernel compilations taking longer than usual. Tonight
I finally realized the cause... Parallel building (i.e. make -jN) is no
longer working for me. I traced it back and the last kernel it worked in
was -test5. It ceased working in -test6.

Not to point fingers, but I do notice that the kbuild separate output
directory patch went into -test6...

Build environment details:
arch: i386
make: GNU Make version 3.79.1
gcc: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
output directory: default (i.e. source dir)

I can narrow it down to a -bk if that's useful or if someone has a patch to
back out the separate output dir kbuild changes I can give that a whirl...
