BTW, the samples seem to build one at a time even with parallel 'make',
which is a significant pessimization these days. 'Makefile' contains:

samples:
        (cd samples && $(MAKE) all)

so it just defers to 'samples/Makefile', which contains:

SAMPLES_SUBDIRS=access animate artprov calendar [...]
all:
        @for d in $(SAMPLES_SUBDIRS); do (cd $$d && $(MAKE)); done

Presumably that shell loop is generated from some 'xyzzy.in', but
I can't find any plausible candidate, or I'd propose a patch for it.
But as for the presumably-generated 'samples/Makefile', wouldn't
the following change (just changing ';' to '&') work?

 all:
-       @for d in $(SAMPLES_SUBDIRS); do (cd $$d && $(MAKE)); done
+       @for d in $(SAMPLES_SUBDIRS); do (cd $$d && $(MAKE))& done
