Similar problems here. I also had problems running `make boot' -j -l 5 (I
think that's the operand I used). I've been told by various people that -j
2 works for them, but not -j 3. Anyway, I suspect 2 problems--one related
to a race condition in the way the make is organized, and one relating to
stress.

It'd be nice if the various targets of the kernel make could be organized so
that `make j' wouldn't break it. This would make it an excellent
stress-test, which I suspect would help resolve other memory-stress
problems. (I know, I know, but I wouldn't know where to begin.... ;)
