+ This passes the main make process jobserver fds to package builds,

+ 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.
- You get maximum build performance, if you set the package build
