Changed use -jX here for parallelism to use "-j N" for N parallel jobs

Rationale: In my opinion use -jX here for parallelism is quite ambiguous as it could be perceived as a single option without any argument. Ie running:

make -jX

Embarrassingly this caused me to be stuck for quite a long time until I opened the help menu for make but if I am the only one who faced this issue I would be happy to close this PR.
