This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 35 development cycle.
Changing version to 35.

This is severely broken.

For starters, it breaks debuginfo processing. For a simple reproducer, take "popt" package from dist-git, add "%limit_build" (also reproduced with "%limit_build -m 8192" etc) to top of %build and try to build. It consistently fails with:

> Processing files: popt-debugsource-1.18-6.fc35.x86_64
> error: Empty %files file /builddir/build/BUILD/popt-1.18/debugsourcefiles.list

Similar results with the other package I tested with. 

AFAICS it simply breaks all other uses of %_smp_build_ncpus (whether in spec or rpm internally) outside the spec section where it appears:

'%global _smp_build_ncpus "${_cur_max_jobs}"' gets "executed" during *spec parse*, and at that time there's never any _cur_max_jobs environment variable around. That will only be available during the execution of the shell section where the macro was called, ie %build. It will again go defunct when the build moves on the %install and later, which do various amount of parallel processing all hooked on that variable.

This needs to be reverted before it gets shipped anywhere in this condition.

NAK, this is a bad design, see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/CWQIAKEI6Q7VJJWNGFSRW7ZR47RLFLGY/

Please DO NOT submit updates to stable releases before we've agreed upon an implementation and the dust settles in rawhide. That would be closer to final freeze of F35.

If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

And so the bad design that requires adding ugly crap to %make_build went into production :(

Uh, I'd given the update negative karma to ensure it wouldn't go stable initially, but I missed the second set of updates.

Michel, can you please take a look and make the necessary fixes here? There do still seem to be issues with this implementation?
