James, All,

Packages that do not build in parallel do not because their rules assume
the ordering is kept.

I don't see how replacing -j1 with --eval .NOTPARALLEL: would cause the
ordering to be restored.

Instead, I would have expected we do something like:

    # Only build one job at a time, *and* to not randomise goals and
    # prerequisites ordering in make 4.4+
    MAKE1 := $(HOSTMAKE) -j1 $(if $(findstring --shuffle,$(MAKEFLAGS)),--shuffle=none)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
