[Bug 419248] [NEW] using make -j is a very bad idea

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: transcode

using -j without a number limit is a very bad idea.  In the case of a
transcode build, it means that well over 100 processes all launch and
try to compile or whatever at once.  Please limit make -j to 2 times the
number of CPUs, like the more sane users of -j do.

thanks,
lamont
