Well you should be able to try it out if it works.
Be sure to try it without '+' prepended to the rule,
and with a recursive makefile where somewhere along
the lines, plain 'make' rather than '$(MAKE)' is used.
I think deadlock is only likely when you do not implement
the jobserver protocol correctly.
