2.6.18 intermittent parallel build failure

[andrew]

When compiling the kernel on a Sun T1000 ( Niagra - 6 cores/24
threads) with

	make -j12

I occasionally see failures like:

  CC      drivers/net/pppox.mod.o
  CC      drivers/net/r8169.mod.o
  CC      drivers/net/sk98lin/sk98lin.mod.o
  CC      drivers/net/skge.mod.o
  CC      drivers/net/slhc.mod.o
gcc: no input files
make[1]: *** [drivers/net/slhc.mod.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make: *** [modules] Error 2

Restarting the make command completes the build successfully.

I am using the latest make 3.81 (which had a scary list of BACKWARDS
COMPATIBILITY warnings in the NEWS file) in case that might be
relevant.

Hope thats useful
