This is factually incorrect.  You can run -j just fine, but you can't
expect much of a speedup.  On a single-core machine,

make -j 2

typically gives you a speedup of maybe 15% (given sufficient memory)
since the CPU can keep busy on processing a second job when the other
job is waiting for the disk to provide new input.

More importantly, you'll get to see the same kind of problems that the
true multi-core people experience when using -j.

So very much recommended for testing.
