I think maybe I've figured out what's breaking my build. If use "make -jN" I hit the error. I usually set N to the number of processors (real and HT). So if /proc/cpuinfo display info about 4 processors I use -j4, etc. If I don't specify the number of jobs to run simultaneously the build completes with just the usual warnings.

Any experts on parallelism out there?
