+# This script is used only from top.make.
+# The macro $(MFLAGS-adjusted) calls this script to
+# adjust the "-j" arguments to take into account
+# the HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS variable.  The default
+# handling of the "-j" argument by gnumake does
+# not meet our needs, so we must adjust it ourselves.
+
+# This argument adjustment applies to two recursive
+# calls to "$(MAKE) $(MFLAGS-adjusted)" in top.make.
+# One invokes adlc.make, and the other invokes vm.make.
+# The adjustment propagates the desired concurrency
+# level down to the sub-make (of the adlc or vm).
+# The default behavior of gnumake is to run all
+# sub-makes without concurrency ("-j1").
+
+# Also, we use a make variable rather than an explicit
+# "-j<N>" argument to control this setting, so that
+# the concurrency setting (which must be tuned separately
+# for each MP system) can be set via an environment variable.
+# The recommended setting is 1.5x to 2x the number of available
+# CPUs on the MP system, which is large enough to keep the CPUs
+# busy (even though some jobs may be I/O bound) but not too large,
+# we may presume, to overflow the system's swap space.
