There is no issue in "make" utility.

The problem is in how it was used inside of Docker container by me.

I've used:
```
NUM_CPUS=$(grep -c ^processor /proc/cpuinfo)
make -j$(NUM_CPUS)
```

inside of Docker container, but this was my mistake.

There is no problem when using simply:
```
make -j
```

Dear admins, feel free to close this bug report.

The problem is in fact, that the Make probably uses:
```
cat /proc/cpuinfo
```

mechanism to detect the number of CPUs available to Make.


However this way will not always work correctly inside of Docker container which was started using limited set of cores, for example:
```
docker run -it --cpuset-cpus=0,1 ubuntu
```

Following way of detection for available CPUs should be used instead:
```
cat /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cpuset.cpus
```
