I'd guess no version of Make recognizes the submake use in the current
Makefile automatically and so -j will not work for the recursive calls
on any machine. Adding a '+' to the command to explicitly flag it (as
the warning message suggests) works though.

I'm not fluent enough in Make syntax to verify its correctness just by
reading it, but it seems to work. Given that -j probably doesn't work
properly on any system now I think there's no need to be overly careful
about changing it.
