True, but BR2_JLEVEL was already there before your patch. What your
patch fixes is the situation where BR2_JLEVEL is empty, not 0, 1, 2,
3, ... as the original code expected. So, maybe a better title is:

package/Makefile.in: don't force parallel building when BR2_JLEVEL is empty

Best regards,
Thomas
