That is a flag that is to be set by the maintainer in debian/rules if the package supports parallel building. Since we don't set it in gtk+, DEB_MAKE_PARALLEL won't be set and thus -j8 won't be passed to make. If in the end make gets a -j8 flag, there is a bug somewhere, because that shouldn't be passed.

Forgot to follow up to this...

The package isn't building in parallel. The problem is a different one (build
failure in the docs build), completely unrelated to -j8...

That's normal.
