When GNU make sees that a command to be executed contains the string $(MAKE), it makes the jobserver that limits parallelism available to the command. Otherwise, any sub-make that executes sees that parallelism is enabled but does not have access to the jobserver, so it prints a warning and turns off parallel job execution.
This also makes the dist-docs process run the same "make" that is executed at the top level, in case that's different from the default "make" found in $PATH.
