This is not a bug. When -j is present, make tries to execute multiple
shell commands in a single shell instance for efficiency. This is not
very well documented in the man page, but -B gives a hint about it.
If you want to execute each line in its own shell process, use -B.
Most shell snippets that don't cd or chdir, benefit from the new way
of execution.
