In my experience, parallel build errors occur because the makefile underspecifies (or mis-states) the dependencies. If that is the case, then those issues will usually arise regardless of whether make is being run on Linux, Darwin, or any other system. I also don't see any system-specific stuff in the error messages shown below. So I wonder ... what makes you believe that race conditionts in the build system might dependent on the system platform?

Nothing other than build errors often being architecture specific. My hope
is that 7.6.2 fixed these errors either way.
