Careful, there are platforms w/o proper pkg-config (see also
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30485 for some
attempts).

Both. They are slightly orthogonal currently, in that max-jobs
controls the number of parallel compiler runs inside a single
directory, whereas num-cpus controls the number of parallel make
invocations (in different directories). Yeah, it's weird.

Hm, I'd ask Fridrich or Petr to comment on that - there have been
problems with different interpretation of fuzz, among various patch
flavors -

Like this:

git clone ssh://[username@]git.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/build

Thanks for your fixes!
