It comes from MAKEFLAGS variable.

njoly@lanfeust [tmp/parall]> cat Makefile 
all:
        echo "**$(MAKEFLAGS)**"
        $(MAKE) sec
sec:
        echo "**$(MAKEFLAGS)**"
njoly@lanfeust [tmp/parall]> make
echo "** **"
** **
make sec
echo "** **"
** **
njoly@lanfeust [tmp/parall]> make -j 4
--- all ---
echo "** -j 4 -J 15,16 **"
** -j 4 -J 15,16 **
make sec
--- sec ---
echo "** -j 4 -J 15,16 **"
** -j 4 -J 15,16 **
