It should be export MAKEFLAGS='-j 2' shouldn't it? Personally I have never tried using the MAKEFLAGS variable because I have had problems with glibc not installing correctly if make install is run with parallel jobs. It compiles fine with make -j4 but I've learned to always run just plain vanilla make install.
