While i dont' have an answer to the question
it does remind me to point out something
that happened to me when specifying more
jobs than CPU's using Windows 2000 cygwin
'hosts.'  The scenario is building
on linux using Cygwin->linux cross-compilers
on 2 windows boxes.

If i specify make -jx where x is more than the actual
number of CPU's available; the cygwin boxes go
crazy... 100% CPU usage by distccd. I basically
have to kill distccd on the main machine
then kill distccd on the cygwin boxes to regain
control.
