Let me preface this by saying that I know -j is unsupported with ports, and that there are efforts to potentially add hooks for -j. I just happened to have found a bunch of ports that compiled properly when setting MAKE_ARGS to -j X in RELENG_6_2.
I had quite a few entries like this in my make.conf, prior to the RELENG_7 upgrade: .if ${.CURDIR:M*/bash*} MAKE_ARGS+=-j8 .endif If I use the above with RELENG_7's make, I see a lot of messages like: Graph cycles through `config.h' Graph cycles through `stamp-h' and `shell.c' is up to date. `eval.c' is up to date. `parse.y' is up to date. `general.c' is up to date. However, if I build and install RELENG_6_2's make, the port builds properly. I know it's compiling things in parallel, as it compiles faster with -j8 than without -j (admittedly, not by much): compile time without -j: 33.603 compile time with -j8: 22.793 So has something in make changed to be more rigid (or proper) with -j that is breaking this previous behavior?
