I don't know the answer but one thought that occurred to me: are you
using Apple's frozen-in-time GNU make?
$ make -v
GNU Make 3.81

Could it have bugs that were later fixed? On the other hand, I build
PostgreSQL myself quite regularly on a Mac with that version and -j8
and I have not seen that problem.
