Is it just me or does that sound not very intuitive or at least a
little unexpected?
It's good that it uses the resources eagerly, but in terms of build systems this
is certainly surprising if there's no control of that parameter via
make/ninja/xcode.

I've been using ninja -jN so far. I suppose when building with ThinLTO I should
run ninja -j1. Would that

What's the workaround?
