Skip the make job server when using BSD make - #9676
Merged

Conversation
Like nmake, BSD make can't parse the GNU `--jobserver-auth` flag in
MAKEFLAGS and aborts native extension builds with:
make: argument 'observer-auth=6,7' to option '-j' must be a positive number
Skip the jobserver on BSD platforms, unless an gmake is explicitly
being used.

If merged, this should be backported to the release branch because 4.0.15 contains the jobserver feature. |

@hsbt Does this seems reasonable to you? If so I can backport it onto the stable branch for the next release. |
