It will always work on a real and recent enough unix variant. BeOS is
POSIX-like enough, but does not support all the aspects of job control
(apparently).

You're the one who wanted this option for your build system. I've

(which is a corner case for 99.99% (made out figure) of zsh's users)
is perfectly acceptable option.
