I think there are no real machines with 5 cores, or 5 cpus. If 
dragon.archlinux.org actually has 5 cpus then do skip this message.

Refering to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:PKGBUILD.com :
It states it describes the build server at dragon.archlinux.org. At
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:PKGBUILD.com#Packager_&&_Makeflags
it suggests to use

    MAKEFLAGS=-j5

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Parallel_compilation
suggets to use the number of cores here.
I don't know what the implications of using a wrong number in MAKEFLAGS.
Or even if there are any implications at all. Still, why not state the
correct number, or use $(nproc)?
