I believe internally it's using ninja since that's just inherited from 
Chromium, and yes that won't pay attention to PARALLEL_MAKE. Honestly if it 
can't cope with being built in parallel that's a bug that upstream should be 
fixing given that it does so by default - my advice would be to check upstream 
(at the very least, the Qt bugtracker) and see if there is a fix that can be 
applied.

Cheers,
Paul
