Prior to commit 5d45950dfbb1 ("kbuild: move vmlinux.o link to scripts/Makefile.vmlinux_o"), jobserver-exec was invoked from the shell script, link-vmlinux.sh. It can get access to the jobserver because Makefile adds '+' prefix, as in: +$(call if_changed_dep,link_vmlinux) Since 5d45950dfbb1, jobserver-exec is invoked from Makefile, but the '+' prefix is missing, hence jobserver-exec has no access to the jobserver.
