netbsd / pkgsrc did switch to a more concurrent default for $MAKE_JOBS.

MAKE_JOBS_SAFE=no is a way to turn it off.

In current 'stable' pkgsrc, 590 / 11862 packages have it set (to no,
i.e., not parallel build safe).

Each predates someone running into the pkg not building for them while
it built for others.

You wanna find those inexplicably not building on some machines manually,
again?

Have fun.
