I don't think its going to matter either way. For one thing, this
is 'make', which isn't really a critical utility. Secondly, unless
make is managing a hundred children all at once I really doubt the
difference in performance would be noticeable. But its up to you.

Yea, thats what I expect. But I want to do the responsable thing. :-)
Most of the time make is just waiting for the children. But its more a
question of which one will result in cleaner code. Ether we go KQUEUE
all the way, or we remove it. Having it ifdef makes the code harder to
maintain.
