Subject: Reduce number of parallel gcc invocations from 4 to 2 per cpu
X-Git-Tag: v16.06-rc1~221
X-Git-Url: https://gerrit.fd.io/r/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2e89a894a46e6de80bdd3bcec184a53b32e5c091;p=vpp.git

Reduce number of parallel gcc invocations from 4 to 2 per cpu

Some build hosts can run out of memory during compilation.
This should reduce memory demand without affecting build time.
