Bug Description

There is a closed bug upstream that breaks parallel builds of webkit: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30653

Unfortunately 'make' hasn't had a release in years...

The patch is pretty simple: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/make/remake.c?root=make&r1=1.153&r2=1.154

We should consider introducing the one-liner fix as a distro patch (ideally with SRUs to precise and quantal).

the upstream issue talks about 3.82, however Ubuntu only has 3.81

Interesting. I never considered the obvious possibility that this issue was first introduced in 3.82 and to be honest, I've never actually encountered it on my Ubuntu box.

This may be a total non-issue...
