The patch from ticket 526 updated to the latest sources is at [1].

Building from scratch (including boot-chicken) works fine with -j8 on
my machine (FreeBSD 8.2 amd64). The tests also pass with the resulting
binaries.

Parallel installation however doesn't work; when NEEDS_RELINKING is
"yes" (which it is by default), install-bin target tries to remove
files that other targets try to install in parallel which leads to
failure. Can someone tell me what is the need for this?
