A quick note about devel/afl++

Hi,

One of my NetBSD 11 PowerPC build machines is a single core PowerPC Mac 
mini with 1 gig of memory. For obvious reasons, I run this system without 
MAKE_JOBS.

I happened to be logged in when I saw this while the system was compiling 
devel/afl++ from 2026Q2:

load averages:  12.2,  10.1,  6.12;               up 13+01:09:08             03:01:24
52 processes: 1 runnable, 50 sleeping, 1 on CPU
CPU states:  0.2% user, 31.2% nice, 22.9% system,  0.2% interrupt, 45.4% idle
Memory: 547M Act, 267M Inact, 88K Wired, 82M Exec, 79M File, 2184K Free

26547 pbulk     83    4   236M   60M biowait     0:25  1.37%  1.37% clang++
29165 pbulk     83    4   244M   71M biowait     0:27  1.32%  1.32% clang++
22673 pbulk     83    4   256M   74M biowait     0:30  1.27%  1.27% clang++

I remember there were issues with rust ignoring MAKE_JOBS in the past, but 
that was on systems with multiple cores where rust used all the cores no 
matter what. But where would afl++ get the idea that more than one job 
simultaneously make sense?
