However, at that time, I did not debug this. Therefore, even specifying not unlimited but a certain amount of threads might not reliable in all cases.

I usually don't build Asterisk with multiple jobs enabled, so I'm not
sure if we support this or not.

Unless someone else answers, filing an issue would probably the only
other option.
