Yes, -j2.

The project compiles fine with both gcc and clang, but fails when using
scan-build.  You can easily check the code out from
http://svn.zentific.com/trunk/Zentific-console/shellinabox and test this
yourself.

I don't remember which cc I was using in the log that I sent just now, but
neither compiler is able to finish a build when using scan-build.  Required
functions that are detected when not using scan-build are no longer detected
when using scan-build.

Checking out the code and testing this yourselves will likely be the fastest
way to solve this, unless it is somehow unique to my system.
