Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 Bryan explained that he had fixed the problem in his "Stable", "Advanced"
 and "Development" branches, but not in the "Super Stable" branch, which is
 the one the MacPorts netpbm port seems to be following, perhaps because
 "Super Stable" is the only branch for which netpbm releases source
 tarballs; the other branches are available only from their Subversion
 repository.

 {{{
 Sorry, I must not have realized you were using the Super Stable (10.26)
 series.  I fixed the parallel make only in Stable, Advanced, and
 Development.
 I don't think this change is a good idea in Super Stable because a) the
 make
 files are rather different there; b) there probably is other work that
 would
 have to be done to make parallel make truly work; and c) parallel make
 adds
 little value.

 But if you want to stay with 10.26 and have parallel make, you could try
 applying the same change locally.  It's Subversion Revision 733 of
 'trunk',
 which is this:
 }}}

 He then provided a diff of his revision 733, which I've attached here. We
 can either try to apply that and see if it works (he thinks it might not),
 or we can just leave parallel building off until the Stable branch becomes
 the Super Stable branch. Or we can try to switch the port to use the
 Stable branch now.
