-		  This adds a -jX option to certain packages that are known to behave well
-		  for parallel build. By default, the package make processes use the main
-		  jobserver, in which case this option only takes effect when you add -jX
-		  to the make command.

-		help
-		  This passes the main make process jobserver fds to package builds,
-		  enabling full parallelization across different packages.
-
-		  Note that disabling this may overcommit CPU resources depending on the
-		  -j level of the main make process, the number of package submake jobs
-		  selected below and the number of actual CPUs present.
-		  Example: If the main make is passed a -j4 and the submake -j
-		  is also set to 4, we may end up with 16 parallel make processes
-		  in the worst case.
