 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.
