The message was:
warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.
To me, this sounds like 'make' could not create a jobserver, because the
jobservers rely on named pipes [1] and the reporter says he's in a chroot.
Some file names may not be allowed in a chroot, or some directory may be
missing.
I don't see this as a Makefile bug, but rather as a limitation of the
specific chroot environment.
