-j [jobs], --jobs[=jobs]
            Specifies  the  number  of jobs (commands) to run
simultaneously.  If there is
            more than one -j option, the last one is effective.  If
the -j option is given
            without  an  argument,  make  will  not  limit the number
of jobs that can run
            simultaneously.
