GNU make -j is broken anyway, it can start building things that are
currently building under certain conditions. The dependency graph

O --- O
/ \
A B
\ /
O --- O

(all lines are arrows pointing right)

doesn't work. It will start building things from B (although this will
overwrite both nodes connected to B) two times.
