This was an interesting failure. Turns out that we were too clever with
our help2man dependencies. It might fail when we do a parallel build
because our recursive make invocation might clash with the running
parallel make one. The attached patch fixes it by a trick found in
guix. Now we do depend on the executables, but only invoke the help2man
rule if the dependency that changed wasn't the executable itself.

See attached.

Cheers,

Mark

P.S. Yes, there are still 3 buildbot workers that don't have help2man,
they are still failing. Will be fixed tomorrow.

Subject: [PATCH] Makefile.am: Don't try to recursively make binaries to run
 help2man

We try to avoid having to run help2man unnecessary for a build from
a source distribution (which include the generated manpages). We did
this by not depending on the actual executable, but recursively calling
make to generate it when necessary. This causes trouble with parallel
makes because the two make processes don't know which objects have,
have not or are being build. Fix this by depending on the executable
but only running help2man if one of the sources has changed, not when
the executable has been regenerated.

Oops. So I pushed the new manpage updates but didn't make sure that
the buildbot workers had help2man installed. At least the error
message is very explicit.

Will fix,
