[SWLUG] make annoyance

[Mark Summerfield]

Hi,

I have an alias:

    alias make='make -j4'

since _mostly_ this is useful for me.

But recently I've started to use recursive makefiles and _some_ of them
output:

make[3]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
make[3]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent make rule.

I'd like to be able to fix this -- but while still allowing me to
specify options to make, e.g.,

    $ make -s

Any hints?

Thanks!
