Re: [Chicken-hackers] parallel build failure

[Jim Ursetto]

Mario,
My guess is that you did
  make -j2 spotless all

which causes some of the rm's from spotless to overlap the beginning of the 
build.  I am curious if it is possible to avoid this, but for now, my advice 
would be: don't do that ;). Issue two calls to make instead.
