I can limit it to src tree builds if you want.

I cannot imagine any situation where "clean<something>" depends on another directory going first. 

Similarly it makes sense to always build subdirs in parallel with 'obj' and I would argue 'clean*' too, regardless of SUBDIR_PARALLEL. I only just realized that. Yes there are mkdir -p and rm -f races, but we have not added any dependencies because of these as is.
