[erlang-questions] Can I build Erlang with make -j?

[Dmytro Lytovchenko]

Make will guarantee the clean result if the makefile targets are lined up
properly.
So far I have observed it works well, no matter if I set MAKEFLAGS before I
build or install with kerl or asdf, or if I generate automake/autoconf on a
single core and then do make -j#
