There are two manual loops in accessible/interfaces/ia2/Makefile.in that make the MIDL calls serialized.

Maybe it's time to bite the bullet and try to move all the MIDL-related stuff out of Makefiles.

Bug 1645986 solved the problem for most generated files by moving their
rules to the top-level, but we're going to add rules that will end up in
subdirectories, so we have to solve the same problem again, in the
subdirectories.

The register rules are dropped at the same time because nothing
actually uses them.

Pushed by mh@glandium.org: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/3f6d140abf16 Allow generated file rules to run in parallel in a given directory. r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,rstewart https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/478edcb2dc6e Move MIDL handling to moz.build. r=firefox-build-system-reviewers,rstewart

Interestingly, this doesn't move the needle at all on native Windows builds...
