Well, that's recursion in my book: it runs sub-Make's.  Thus, what I
found, i.e. that sub-Make's by default run with -j1, is what I'd
expect to happen for you.

Are you sure you attached to the right Make?  There are more than one
of them running at this time, I think.

Anyway, if it loops there, perhaps you could see what job is it
waiting for, and why the waiting doesn't end.
