The %make_build macro enables parallel make builds using the -j option.  In
case a package does not build correctly with parallel make, then parallel
make will be disabled for that package by redefining the %_smp_mflags macro
like this:

   %global _smp_mflags -j1

Please use this instead:

%global _smp_ncpus_max 1

That allows the same thing to be abstracted to whatever make system might be running underneath, some of which have different semantics wrt -j arguments or use a different switch altogether etc.


That is rather unwiely, in particular because it's quite common for
just *some* make invocations to fail in parallel mode. (E.g. the main
build works, but doc build fails, or install, etc.)

Why not specify the override for the individual invocation:
%make_build -j1
%make_install -j1
%make_build -C docs -j1

This kind of thing gets easily lost in the noise, whereas a macro definition is easy to spot and grep for.
