The requirement was just get our older yocto (jethro) build running on a
PC of a different developer. Often developers have their own flavor of
Ubuntu releases and they update to newer versions while they still
develop on yocto releases which is much older. Because that yocto
release is currently in the field by our costumer. Our product cycle is
not so fast to use the newest yocto releases. We started to develop when
jethro was up to date.

We compiled single threaded just because his PC is a bit unstable on
high load. And it crashed a few times on parallel makes. I know that
this is not ideal for yocto development.

its takes much longer then with settings

PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j 4"
BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "4"
