That's just one of the problems :-). "make obj all" is usually an
error, but in Makefile.${MACHINE} it should be just a bad example,
since the `obj' and `all' targets should be built sequentially and then
the object directories will exist by the time make(1) recurses into
them for the `all' target. This doesn't work right for the -j case.
(In the above example, the targets are built concurrently and race
each other. This is bad when the `all' target wins the race. The
`obj' target runs faster, so it usually wins the race except in the
first directory (3dfx)). More .ORDER statements in *.mk are required.

`&&' should never be used in shell commands in makefiles, although it
may be only a bad example. This is because multiple commands are
executed in the same shell in the -j case, and `&&' gives non-simple
commands which may defeat the shell's -e setting. E.g., the command:
cd /; set -e; cd /nonesuch && false; rm -rf *
removes everything under "/", not everything under /nonesuch, despite
checking that the cd to /nonesuch worked.
