In a recursive make scenario, you will be running sub-makes to create targets. In GNU make we do not count make itself as one of the targets to be updated and I recommend this behavior here as well. If you don't have this, then you can have a situation where you run with -jN and you invoke N instances of sub-makes, and now no sub-make can start a new target because all available jobs are used. Not counting make is sensible because while all jobs are running, make itself is not actually running: it's waiting for one of the jobs to complete.
