-ACE supports the following flags.  They can be enabled either on the command
-line, e.g., "make purify=1", or added to your platform_macros.GNU.  To
-disable the option, set the flag to null, e.g., "make debug=".  Some flags
-support setting to 0 disable, e.g., "make debug=0".  debug=1 is enabled in

+GNU make provides many options to customize its operation.  See its
+documentation for more information.  One example is that for multi-cpu
+UNIX machines you will be able to build faster if you use:<P>
+
+<pre><code>
+% make -j <em>n</em>
+</code></pre><p>
+
+which allows parallel compilation. The number <i>n</i> should
+typically be the number of CPUs.  It is likely that builds will be
+faster even on single-CPU UNIX machines with <code>make -j
+2</code>.<P>

+ACE further supports the following flags.  They can be enabled either

 Please note that the effects of a flag may be platform specific.
 Also, combinations of certain flags may or may not be allowed on
