Please don't post screenshots; instead please cut and paste the code into question as text. Thanks. The answer to your question is right in the question itself. The behavior you see (with just -j) is what you get when you run GNU Make 3.81 (there is no version "3.8" of GNU Make). The behavior you want (with the numeric extension to -j) is what you get when you run GNU Make 4.3. So, clearly there has been a change in behavior between 3.81 and 4.3. This change was introduced in GNU Make 4.2: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/tree/NEWS?id=4.2 https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/tree/NEWS?id=4.2#n36
