YAQ:(Yet another question)
I managed to compile GNU-make 3.58, without any problems what so ever.
And I can 'make' several items at a time. However, they all run at the same
station. Has anybody added code to have 'remote' makes?

Since a lot of time stations are just idling, because it's user is editing.
Now if I can use this time to compile, Great!

Are ther any patches available, or is this just a vacant item to be filled
due time. I noticed code for RPC-bases remote makes, this will not run 
as is on an Apollo. Can this be changed? Or is it possible to use NCS
for this? I've only looked very superflous to NCS before, so it would
take up quite a lot of my time to even figure out how it would work.

Anybody any clous?
