Hmm, my memory associates an unlimited -j to make with sudden death by 
fork-bomb. But that was a long time ago and on a different codebase (the 
kernel maybe), with DPDK on current hardware it doesn't seem that bad at 
all.

OTOH we can also simply ask the system for a reasonable value, eg
$ /usr/bin/getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN
