Booting from a Knoppix live DVD works.  All six cores are utilized
during a kernel compile.

What doesn't work:
Stock Fedora kernel 3.18.7 in F20.
Vanilla kernel.org 3.19.2 kernel in F21.
Patched kernel.org 3.19.0 kernel, bfs and bfq patched, in F21.
Custom compiled Fedora 4.0 kernel in F21.

So, it is something in Fedora or my configuration of it.  My F21 was a
clean install, and I don't recall setting anything that would affect
this, but it is possible.  Maybe I'll try live media from another
distro to see if it solves the problem.  Or live media from Fedora.

Anyway, getting closer.
