 In that case another Makefile needs it.
 .NOTPARALLEL (now) includes the make in the 'big parallel make', but
 limits it to only ever having one job of its own running.
 
 However I also had to add .MAKE markers to a few other targets (in order
 to stop the job-pipe FDs being closed), the immediate child makes ran
 an non-parallel makes, but still passed -jn onto their children - which
 became the leaders of their own little parallel make universe.
 
 This caused the whole mess to be unstoppable when an error happens.
