Problems using 'make -j2' on GNU/Linux

After recent changes [1], using 'make -j2 bootstrap', on GNU/Linux 
Kubuntu 8.04, fails

Instead 'make bootstrap' works.

Yes, I've seen this as well (tho I didn't see it with -j4 in my earlier
tests).  Note that after "make -j2 bootstrap" you can finish the
bootstrap with "make -j2" and it should work.

I think it's fixed now.

Of course, now we have the other problem: try

   make

(just to make sure everything's already compiled) and then

   touch src/regex.c; make

and weep,
