initial version

The official documentation for that is at ROS Environment Variables. This doc hasn't been changed for a long time.

You'll need to set ROS_PARALLEL_JOBS to e.g. -j 2 -l 2.

The reason why this pops up now is that you probably got a fixed version. Previously there was a buggy implementation following your interpretation that cast ROS_PARALLEL_JOBS to int and thus failed anyone that had set this correctly before. I assume that catkin_make has been fixed but the doc hasn't been updated clearly.

Edit: Just checked the current catkin sources. The doc seems to be updated there. So basically that should be clear with the next release.
