# Macros to constrain resource use during the build process

# Changes _smp_build_ncpus depending on various factors
#
# -c cpus  constrains the CPU count to "cpus"
# -m mem   constrains the CPU count to the total amount of memory in the system
#          (in megabytes) divided by "mem", rounded down
#
# If no options are passed, sets _smp_build_ncpus to 1.
# _smp_build_ncpus will never be raised, only lowered.
