Hi,

not related but I’ve replaced my usage of `make -j X buildworld` by `make
buildworld-jobs` (and buildkernel-jobs).
This uses ${JOB_MAX} that corresponds to -j1.33C (1.33 x nproc).
And building the latest head from the stable-week (n272449-6e414739fc95)
using build[world|kernel]-jobs is working.
