Subject: dist-docs: Make GNU make aware of sub-make.
X-Git-Url: http://git.cascardo.eti.br/?p=cascardo%2Fovs.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b3043359519e1716a3d6a57d43c153b8e1d2cf0

dist-docs: Make GNU make aware of sub-make.

When GNU make sees that a command to be executed contains the string
$(MAKE), it makes the jobserver that limits parallelism available to
the command.  Otherwise, any sub-make that executes sees that
parallelism is enabled but does not have access to the jobserver, so
it prints a warning and turns off parallel job execution.

This also makes the dist-docs process run the same "make" that is
executed at the top level, in case that's different from the default
"make" found in $PATH.
