No, _all_ of the target libraries, if they are started by the toplevel
Makefile are built serially. GNU make thinks, that suddenly the jobserver
is missing and goes back to -j1. Probably because file descriptors used
for communication with the submakes are closed or so. This happens since,
erhm, forever. I never quite understood, why the submakes building the
target libs miss the jobserver, but e.g. the submakes doing the normal
bootstrap in gcc/ have it available.
