+Subject: build: don't add -j for parallel builds with Make 4.2+
+
+Make usually passes -j and jobserver arguments as part of MAKEFLAGS. LEDE
+removes MAKEFLAGS to have better control of the build, and re-adds the
+jobserver arguments with -j to the Make commandline where desired.
+
+Make 4.2+ behave differently with these arguments passed on the commandline
+than in MAKEFLAGS: -j will override the jobserver argument and the job
+count will be unlimited.
+
+Moving the flags to MAKEFLAGS will need many packages to be changed and
+tested; therefore, we opt for a less invasive change for now and just
+remove -j for Make 4.2+, as the jobserver argument alone is enough to
+enable parallel builds for these Make versions.

+Subject: tools/cmake: fix parallel build with Make 4.2+
+
+Avoid using the --parallel argument to the CMake bootstrap, as that doesn't
+allow us to remove the -j argument. Instead, pass the HOST_JOBS arguments
+in MAKEFLAGS.
