Yes, and make project doesn't care, because make is called with -j 16 so
that is what it does.

So here's my pitch: bitbake can stop processes spawned by make, because
it knows that it started make on 4 recipies, each with -j 16. The
individual makes don't know about each other.

And neither they should. They can simply abstain from spawning new compilers if used RAM is, say, at 90% total. Then bitbake does not have to get involved in babysitting those makes.
