To fix packages that fail to build when PARALLEL_JOBS is empty instead
of using an empty PARALLEL_JOBS just avoid to using it in
the MAKE variable.

Check the MAKEFLAGS variable to know automatically if the -j option is
being used, but use the "=" operator instead of the ":=" operator
because it can be checked only in a "recursively expanded variable".
Use "override" because otherwise it's impossible to change the
automatic variable "MAKE".

v3:
- add Acked-by (Arnout)
v2:
- Use MAKEFLAGS to check if the "-j" option is used
- Don't empty the PARALLEL_JOBS variable (Thomas P.)
