how can i tell rpmbuild to *not* parallelize make during the build?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  grrrrrr ... following the instructions here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel

on how to build a custom kernel (some of which is incorrect, more on
that later), and builds keep failing at random places, i'm guessing
because i have a hyperthreaded quad-core laptop, and the "make -j8" is
simply tripping over itself in arbitrary places.

  what's the easiest way to specify a single-threaded build? yes, it
will take forever, but it will be nice to verify that that's the
problem.

  thanks.
