compilation fails on 1-core VM

[bmwiedemann]

Describe the bug
When building the frr-7.3.1 as packaged in our openSUSE Linux distribution, the build fails on 1-core VMs but succeeds on 4-core VMs. This is indicative of insuffiently specified build dependencies.

[x] Did you check if this is a duplicate issue?
[x] Did you test it on the latest FRRouting/frr master branch?

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior (on openSUSE or Debian):

1. osc checkout openSUSE:Factory/frr && cd $_
2. osc build --vm-type=kvm -j1 --noservice
3. See error

Expected behavior
Build should not fail

Additional context
This issue was found as part of my work on reproducible builds for openSUSE.

I locally cherry-picked 4b7272c onto stable/7.3 and verified that it fixed this issue.

Many thanks @donaldsharp !
