It's the intended operation of pmake/bmake from 4.4BSD.  One reason I
believe we haven't trusted 'make -j' in the past is it can be very hard
to unwind the output when there is a build error.  It turns out this is
because dg in the past neutered them (presumably he didn't understand
their value).  After having used a bmake with the stock behavior I've
seen how valuable the markers are.
