The above line is your problem. The current 'build.sh' script seems to
break in various ways when using more than one job =(

While not a massive issue, I'd like to see this fixed at some point
(after all it's even available as the '-j' argument for the script
itself, so clearly it is expected to work.)

For me running multiple jobs is particularly desirable. It's a big win
when a fast machine is building from an NFS mounted source tree.
