I'm sorry but I have no experience with Tandem.

The -j option will basically work on all systems.  However, it works
better on some operating systems than on others.  You can find out if
your system is fully supported by running this command (this is a UNIX
shell command; not sure what kind of shell you might have):

  echo 'all: ;@echo $(.FEATURES)' | make -f-

If the output contains the word "jobserver", then your version of GNU
make has full support.  Otherwise it will have limited support.
