[Buildroot] query about change to $(MAKE) definition

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@cloud.net.au>]

Peter,

Can you explain the rationale behind the following change to 
package/Makefile.in you made last week?

It's causing my kernel builds to be very noisy now. I have a custom
makefile for my kernel build, and I'm now getting a ton of

make[5]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.

warnings from it, because $(MAKE) has changed from
'/usr/bin/make -j2' to: '/usr/bin/make MAKE=/usr/bin/make -j2'.

So now -j2 is passed to every submake instance, rather than letting make
itself do the right thing. I'm guessing other builds that do anything
tricky might also suffer.

Thanks
Hamish
