This way allows to turn off parallel make for a single Makefile.
Indeed, this might be a better compromise, when only few Makefiles
have problems with parallel make.

Whereas the snippet I showed turns it off for an entire package (when placed
in the top-level Makefile).

Thanks for the suggestion.
