2880,makefiles not parallel building proof,papillon81,nobody,"In times of multi-core machines it is not too uncommon to compile projects like QGIS with ""make -j9"" or even higher. This does not work, however, as the compile process bails out. Not a big thing, lowering it to -j6 makes it work, but the error shows a build dependency problem in the makefiles that should be fixed.

Here is a part of the log:
