After commit 7c8a131984ab47349381975dead1712ae25ae2c6, I am facing the
following build errors. I am on Debian 11.5. GCC version is "gcc (Debian
10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110".

That's a couple days old -- can you try updating and do a new build?

And what's the actual build error?  You should see it a few lines above. 
Did you try to run "make bootstrap"?

I don't know what is happening on your computer, but as you see the error 
is AFAIU unrelated to 7c8a131984, something goes wrong during the build. 
I just tried 1231a601eb (on Debian bookworm), and it worked as expected.

What's the exact "make" command you type?  Can you try "git clean -fdx" 
followed by "make" (without any other arguments, except -j<some number>)?

Yes. If I run just "make -j`nproc`" after "git clean -fdx", it builds
fine. Following is my observation now,

# bad
git clean -fdx

It appears that the "install" target has some issues with "-j`nproc`" if
the emacs is not already built.

This should now be fixed on master.  Can you please check, and tell us if 
it's indeed fixed?

(Note that "make install" works, but is not recommended.  It is better to 
do "make && make install", to actually proceed with the install only if 
the build succeeded.)

Ok. I didn't know that. I will change my build script.

No worries!  I'm therefore closing this bug.
