We don't add a larger thread number by default, but it might be good to set it '5' by default (assuming a dual core processor with hyperthreading) instead of '1' (assuming a single core system w/o threading). I don't know if this will cause any compatibility issues on older systems, but it's worth a check.

I'm more about _fixing_ issues I find rather than reporting them! Are 
you saying that patches wouldn't be welcome just now?  Is there a reason 
why you don't want to make full use of the CPU while building? And I 
understand that MinnowBoard 3 only builds under Windows at the moment, 
but if more of it built using python (and python is already listed as a 
prerequisite in the ReadMe file) the porting might be simpler.
