The buildtar script might want to invoke a make, so tell the parent make to pass the jobserver token pipe to the subcommand by prefixing the command with a +. This addresses the issue seen here: /bin/sh ../scripts/package/buildtar tar-pkg make[3]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add '+' to parent make rule. See https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Job-Slots.html for more information.
