 Alternatively, each Makefile can be updated similarly to what I did
 recently for misc/libreoffice:
 
  	...
  	.if !empty(MAKE_JOBS.${PKGPATH})
  	CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-parallelism=${MAKE_JOBS.${PKGPATH}}
  	.elif !empty(MAKE_JOBS)
  	CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-parallelism=${MAKE_JOBS}
  	.else
  	CONFIGURE_ARGS+=        --with-parallelism=1
  	.endif
  	...
