Commit Message

Several problems here: the comment refers to PARALLELMFLAGS (which is a
variable in glibc's Makefile) but the actual assignment is to
EGLIBCPARALLELISM, which is an eglibc-ism and thus not respected by
glibc. Thus we were emptying PARALLEL_MAKE and so not actually doing the
build in parallel.

The Makefiles as of glibc 2.44[1] actually build in parallel well using
the standard way to pass flags, so drop all of this logic.

On my machine this has noticable improvements to walltime:

  do_compile:  86s -> 44s
  do_install:  55s -> 40s

Note that there is a PARALLELMFLAGS variable in the Makefiles, but using
it has marginal gains over not and upstream are looking at removing it
entirely.

[1] glibc 7cac99621e ("Makefile: Run the subdirectory recursion in parallel")
