What is in openjdk7 seems bogus and it isn't clear why it is there:
MAKE_JOBS_UNSAFE=       yes
is defined implying that MAKE_JOBS should always be 1 (and -j never set)
but it does some weird things with the global variables
MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER and DISABLE_MAKE_JOBS.

Can the generic handling in b.p.m not work?

IMHO MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=yes should be defined and either b.p.m or b.java.m
should be handling the special build code.
