buildman: Support single-threaded operation
At present even if only a single thread is in use, buildman still uses
threading.
For some debugging it is helpful to do everything in the main process.
Allow -T0 to support this.

The -y option is provided (for use with -s) to ignore the bountiful device-tree warnings. Similarly, -Y tells buildman to ignore the migration warnings. +Sometimes you might get an error in a thread that is not handled by buildman, +perhaps due to a failure of a tool that it calls. You might see the output, but +then buildman hangs. Failing to handle any eventuality is a bug in buildman and +should be reported. But you can use -T0 to disable threading and hopefully +figure out the root cause of the build failure. Build summary ============= |
