Hi Arnout,
thanks for reviewing.

I obviously approve the idea of accepting patches that improve
top-level parallel make and does not add complexity, such as these
patches.

You are right that 2/3 and 3/3 change the behaviour when you touch
.stamp file, but i think that the touching of .stamp file for the
-extract and -patch targets does not happen using buildroot targets,
the touching of those .stamp files can happen only manually, so IMHO
it's not a real problem.

Best regards
