[Bug bootstrap/31840] New: race condition in makefiles

[zadeck at naturalbridge dot com]

I have not tried this on a single core, but on 2 or more core machines, a
bootstrap will fail if you issue the following commands:

make clean
make -j4

This assumes that the bootstrap has been built at least once before the make
clean.  When it fails, it can be restarted with make -j4 and it will most times
run to conclusion.  Builds also sometimes fail going from one stage to the
next, but this may be the same problem.  

I know that this fails in at r124381 and has been doing this for at least a
week or so.  

I have not tried this on a single core machine, i do not use higher than j2 on
those and the problem does not seem to arise with j1 or j2.

my configure string is generally --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
--disable-multilib (if appropriate)
