gcc for dual core processor

[Alain Muls]

Hi,

I do a lot of gcc compiling. I have a dual core system and by observing 
the CPU usage I think only one of bot cores is working at each time 
(total CPU load is about 52%). I read somewhere that by specifying some 
environmental variables, you can use simultaneously both cores. I lost 
sight of this reference and can no longer find it by googleing for it. 
Does anyone know how to adjust my settings?
