[PATCH 9/9] kbuild: rpm-pkg: do not force -jN in submake

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Fri Sep 29 2017 - 21:11:31 EST


The spec file always passes %{?_smp_mflags}, but we have two
problems here.

[1] "make -jN rpm-pkg" emits the following warning message:

make[2]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.

[2] We can not specify the number of jobs that run in parallel.
Whether we give -jN or not from the top Makefile, the spec file
always passes ${?_smp_mflags} to the build commands.

${?_smp_mflags} will be useful when we run rpmbuild by hand. When we
invoke it from Makefile, -jN is propagated down to submake; it should
not be overridden because we want to respect the number of jobs given
by the user. Set _smp_mflags to empty string in this case.
