Summary: Parallel make build failure: 'libgui.a': No such file

Initial Comment:
Compilation fails when built with make options -j2 or higher.

Sample errors:

rm -f libgui.a
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib libgui.a
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib: 'libgui.a': No such file
make[1]: *** [libgui.a] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-text/xdvik-22.84.16/work/xdvik-22.84.16/texk/xdvik/gui'
make: *** [gui/libgui.a] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Alternatively:

rm -f libgui.a

This is caused by the duplicate build target for gui/libgui.a.

The attached patch fixes the issue in the recommended[1] manner.

Downstream bug on Gentoo bugzilla[2].
