Oh, it actually is a good idea; multi-core machines are increasingly
available. But I saw this behaviour when doing parallel builds. There
seems to be a race condition somewhere in the documentation generating
Makefile.in.

I think (but currently can't check) I reported this to the bug list.

Does adding a 
.NOTPARALLEL
at the end of the corresponding Makefile.in help?
