Err, sure, but the claim of Tuomo was that "make" had to be clever,
not the Makefile ("If parallel make fails, make is too stupid."). Mine
is that "make" can not guess where the synchronizations have to be,
and if "make -j" fails, the first thing I'd do is to check the
Makefile, not to claim it's a make bug.
