After Makefile had been renamed (first to Makefile.orig, then to
Makefile.legacy) when autoconf was introduced, that caused various
problems, so there were several questionable changes...


When I change Makefile.legacy like this:

-MAKE_BEST_JTR = $(MAKE) -j1 -f Makefile.legacy
-MAKE_ORIG = $(MAKE) -f Makefile.legacy -j$(J)
+MAKE_BEST_JTR = $(MAKE) -f Makefile.legacy
+MAKE_ORIG = +$(MAKE) -f Makefile.legacy

I get:

$ make -s -j 2 -f Makefile.legacy generic
Compiling: DES benchmark (code version #1)
make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add '+' to parent
make rule.
Benchmarking: descrypt, traditional crypt(3) [DES 48/64 4K]... 408192
c/s real, 408192 c/s virtual
Compiling: DES benchmark (code version #2)
make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add '+' to parent
make rule.
Benchmarking: descrypt, traditional crypt(3) [DES 48/64 128K]... 360960
c/s real, 360960 c/s virtual
Compiling: DES benchmark (code version #3)
make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add '+' to parent
make rule.
Benchmarking: descrypt, traditional crypt(3) [DES 48/64 4K]... 416384
c/s real, 416384 c/s virtual


If I keep the -j1 for MAKE_BEST_JTR, I get

$ make -s -j 2 -f Makefile.legacy generic
Compiling: DES benchmark (code version #1)
make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
Benchmarking: descrypt, traditional crypt(3) [DES 48/64 4K]... 369024
c/s real, 369024 c/s virtual
Compiling: DES benchmark (code version #2)
make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
Benchmarking: descrypt, traditional crypt(3) [DES 48/64 128K]... 369920
c/s real, 369920 c/s virtual

Any ideas?

But for MAKE_ORIG, the issues have gone (I did not yet push that change).
