Description of changes

This commit massively reduces the build latency for glibcLocales by allowing it to build in parallel. This requires passing -j$NIX_BUILD_CORES via the glibc-specific make variable PARALLELMFLAGS.

This commit also fixes a preexisting bug where the glibcLocales package would ignore preBuild and postBuild.

    • x86_64-linux
    • aarch64-linux
