FTR, RC is only:
Packages must autobuild without failure on all architectures on
which they are supported.
Debian has not had single-core buildds for release architectures
for many years, and it's unlikely it will ever have again.
A few years ago there was some discussion around this topic of
single-core building (see #932795), which is not considered RC
for exactly this reason.
Another comparison would be nocheck, a different non-standard option
that causes you trouble when it's broken in a package - but this is
also not an RC bug since it is not used on buildds of release
architectures.
Note that in all these cases "not an RC bug" does not change the fact
that it "is a bug".
