That's just the default if you haven't set MAKEFLAGS.
Look at /etc/makepkg.conf , you'll see
#-- Make Flags: change this for DistCC/SMP systems
#MAKEFLAGS="-j2"
My main desktop has a 12C/24T processor and after some experimentation I found using 20 jobs gives fast compiling while still allowing me to do other things.
My /etc/makepkg.conf has this line just below the 2 shown above
MAKEFLAGS="-j20"

During building you may encounter lots of coredumps, slowing build down or even dramatically reducing the responsiveness of your system.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_dump for solutions/workarounds .

Why does this package exist ?
Llvm & aur llvm-git are intended to provide a full development environment of llvm/clang suite that can replace eachother completely (aur llvm-git adds some xtra functionality)
llvm-minimal-git is a stripped-down llvm trunk build with these goals :
Some of the things that are stripped out :
Maintainers (and users) should only depend on llvm-miminal-git after verifying it satisfies what they need.

When building this you are likely to see test failures in terminal output / logs.
The command used for the tests has been changed to continue regardless of failures. Incase you don't want to run the tests you can use --nocheck option of makepkg.
