I have a dual Athlon box, make -j2 fails, but make works. Is that normal?
I did some tweaking to the build system to help -jN builds, but I haven't tested a complete build this way. Whereabouts does it fall over for you?
I also experienced such a strange failure with -j2 on my uniprocessor Athlon. The problem was the glafp-utils/mkdependC/mkdependC script that is generated during the build. The build gave a seemingly senseless error message so I looked at the script. Appearently, to concurrent make processes had tried to assemble it simultaneously, generating a pretty twisted version.
