Because it fails, magicpoint's build system is really old and weird.
The comment above should state that, but the leftover -j1 I tried would
confuse the reader. Plus the stupid die comments.

most people associate "emake" with "run in parallel" when in reality, that is
merely one of the things it provides

if something doesnt work in parallel, you use `emake -j1` ... using `make`
generally doesnt make sense anywhere

I know the difference, but thanks. That comment has been added because
I tried it with emake -j1...it still failed, so I chose to use make.
And then forgot to remove the comment.

i dont see how (in the normal case) `emake -j1` would fail where `make` does
not ... they expand to the same effective behavior

`emake -j1` would generally turn into `make -j2 -j1` which has the same
behavior as the default `make`

To prove you wrong, I tried it again...commit is on the way.
Whatever happened the first time...
