Works for me, GNU Make version 3.79.1 building 2.6.7 on ia64.  make -j8
modules gives a pstree of

bash(2475)---make(29483)-+-make(29806)---make(30111)---make(30112)---sh(30113)---gcc(30114)-+-as(30116)

                         `-make(29857)-+-make(29938)---sh(30153)---gcc(30154)-+-as(30156)

                                       |-make(30103)-+-sh(30104)---gcc(30105)-+-as(30107)

                                       |             `-sh(30146)---gcc(30147)-+-as(30149)
                                       |                                      `-cc1(30148)
                                       `-make(30130)---sh(30131)---gcc(30132)-+-as(30134)

Not the full blown 8 way that I asked for, but that is an artifact of
using recursive make instead of a single top level Makefile with all
the dependencies.
