Errr.

Do you expect also any sequential program to work if you start using
threads, and will you blame the pthread library if it doesn't do
synchronization for you?

make -j will work if you didn't rely on make being sequential, but
what can make do with something like

all: target1 target2

target1:
        some-action

target2:
        some-action that requires target1 to be built.
