The new in-kernel package is called "linux-upstream", correct.
But the package shipped by Arch Linux itself, which I'm referring to
here, is called "linux".

I don't see thiss warning in my GNU Make 4.4.1.
(But job-server delegation seems to work)

Maybe it's needed for other make versions or jobserver implementations,
I'll add it.

The patch is based on Linus' tree.
But I expect it to go in via the kbuild tree, so it should be updated.
Thanks for the pointer!

Inside prepare(), build() etc. it is already enabled.
IMO it doesn't make sense to second-guess makepkg here.

It's from the original PKGBUILD.
But you are right, it looks funky and I'll change it.
