Because we (as in the Project) have not validated that all of the code 
compiles correctly in high-parallelism situations. We frequently find 
areas that do not have proper ordering set and you get odd compile errors. 
As machines get faster, we find more races.

In general, compilation with non-standard CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS is not 
supported. If it doesn't work, remove the options from your make.conf and 
re-attempt your build. The code should build with the default CFLAGS and 
no -j set.

If you can identify and provide a patch for areas that don't work properly 
at -j, we'll happily accept them, but if you have problems, you're on your 
own. We can't possibly test every possible permutation of CFLAGS and -j; 
we don't have the resources.
