[Slackbuilds-users] some SlackBuilds not respecting $MAKEFLAGS

[Jeremy Hansen]

In fairness, "many" is only 22 of over 10K scripts.

They might be using other forms to force job count, but the ones using
nproc only cover 0.22% of SlackBuilds.

It's not generally recommended to override user defined options like job
count unless it's to force a single job due to building limitations (which
there are 350 SlackBuilds that force -j1 in their scripts).
