make 3.44 seems to translate -j into -j1 on recursion.  Not what I
wanted or expected.  I don't see any way to alter this.  -l doesn't
seem to be passed at all.

Seems to me that with -j or -j -l that the -j should be passed as -j.
In the case of -jN, it could be debatable whether I wanted this make
-jN or all makes (including recursions) -jN or this make single thread
but all children -jN or...

In any case, plain old -j or -j -l shouldn't be limitted like this.
