I've noticed that

make -j -k check-fortran

results in a serialized checking, while

make -j32 -k check-fortran

goes parallel. Somehow the explicit 'N' in -jN seems to be needed for the check 
target, while the other targets seem to do just fine. Is that a feature, or 
should I file a PR for that... ?

Somewhat related.... is there a rule of thumb on how is the granularity of 
parallel check decided ? E.g. check-fortran seems to be limited to about ~5 
parallel targets, which is few for a typical server (but of course a welcome 
speedup already).

Thanks,

Joost
