This is not really relevant. Many Makefiles include lines like

   target: dep1 dep2 dep3

where dep1, dep2 and dep3 are supposed to be run in that order.
With -j, make will run them in parallel, which breaks this kind of
Makefile.
But without -j the build works correctly, so you cannot say that the
Makefile is wrong, just that it doesn't support -j. Whether you use an
SMP or not will not change that.
