Bug#458634: Investigating parallel build problems

[Gustavo Noronha]

Hello!

I am investigating these two bugs. After reading the build logs, and the
Makefile.am files I am puzzled. Both bugs happen because the test
directory is being built in parallel with other directories. This should
not be possible given how the Makefile.am files are written, any clues
on how that might have happened?

Anyway, I'm trying to reproduce this building 2.16.6 with parallel=8 and
I haven't been able, still - the directories are processed in a serial
way, even though files inside the directories are being built parallely.
If I am unable to reproduce this with some more tries, I am going to
assume 2.16 fixes this. Opinions?

See you,
