Make it possible to use all cores during compilation

By just running make
, only one CPU core is used for compilation.
I tried using make -j $(nproc)
but it fails pretty early:
../../../tools/kas2c/lexer.l:7:10: fatal error: parser.h: No such file or directory
#include "parser.h"
^~~~~~~~~~
If run again after this, it goes through and outputs a working executable. There seems to be a step early in the compilation process that can't be done while other jobs run.
I got a 2min 58s compilation time on single core, and a 1min 37s compilation time on four cores.

After running ../configure
, the folder Linux/tools/kas2c
contains just a Makefile. Upon running make
, it seems to first copy files within the directory. This seems to be the problem that prevents running multiple jobs as the files needed for other jobs aren't copied yet
