A while back, parallel builds (-jN) were fixed to avoid use of sh -e
(thanks jmc!).  But compat mode still uses it and this is apparently
not compatible with Posix 
(see: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/make.html)

At least when .POSIX: is present in a makefile, -e should not be used,
but I suspect it would be better to ditch it all together.
This would at least be compatible with -jN ;-)

Thoughts?
