For some reason, when some ti-pdk recipes are built on my machine, the
number of threads explodes exponentially.... It ends up launching
several hundreds to thousands of threads which consequently make my
computer unresponsive for quite a while, and I usually have to reboot
it afterwards because something important stopped working.

I think for some reason the --jobs= flag is getting compounded
recursively.

Admittedly, there appears to be some deeper bug with the job
parallelism that needs to be looked into, but this at least allows me
to continue working (by setting PARALLEL_XDC = "" in local.conf) in the
meantime.

I'm on the latest HEAD of morty BTW.
