readme.txt for dmake reads:
-S Force sequential execution of recipes on architec-
tures which support concurrent makes. For backward
compatibility with old makefiles that have nasty
side-effect prerequisite dependencies.
I'm not able to understand this explanation, and it's easier for me to live
without it.

Ok, I understand this now.
It seems to me that dmake have more limitations as compared to "make", isn't
it time to migrate to it now?
