Parallel make (e.g., dpkg-buildpackage -j3) fails.

[Adam Buchbinder]

Binary package hint: console-tools

Attempting to build console-tools in a parallel fashion by using the -j (jobs) option to make or dpkg-buildpackage (which passes it to make) will fail.

To reproduce: get the source and execute dpkg-buildpackage -j3. To isolate the problem more closely, enter build-tree/console-tools-0.2.3/lib, run "make clean", then "make -j10" or something with a similarly high job count. (It triggers more reliably with higher parallelism.) It will sometimes fail with a message like the following:

libtool: link: cannot find the library `./libctutils.la'
make: *** [libcfont.la] Error 1

As libcfont.la depends on libctutils.la, there should be a dependency in the build process, so that parallel builds will not randomly fail.

As the version number doesn't appear above (the package wasn't installed when I ran apport), the version being built is console-tools 1:0.2.3dbs-65.1ubuntu1.
