You can put .NOTPARALLEL: in a Makefile.am, and GNU make and some versions of BSD make will not run things in parallel in this makefile. HP-UX make won't obey, but it has a different sytax other than -j anyway, and its parallel semantic look fairly screwed up to me, at least some automake-generated rules won't work with it.
