Alle,

When we run sa-compile on a CentOS 4 distro (old hardware, Dual Celeron SMP), gcc only uses one CPU when compiling. Is there any way to use both processors, or is this a question for the SA list?

I think it's a question for the SA list, though doing some searches I don't see any indication that sa-compile is capable of using more than 1 cpu at a time. The code that's compiling has to be coded in a way that makes it safe to build it in parallel. And last I checked at least gcc by itself only used 1 CPU, you use multiple cpus by splitting the workload up and running multiple gccs, typically with make files and "make -j #".
