Libguestfs - Sep 2017 - building virt-builder still seems to fail.

Hi,

it seems that even after

commit df5bd5741b37da9cf97d7a76ac2805557aa630db
Author: Richard W.M. Jones <rjones@redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Apr 29 15:43:20 2014 +0100

    builder: Fix parallel builds of index-parse.o.

there is a small chance that a build may go wrong with the described
symtom, missing "do_parse" symbol.

It just happened to me on Debian's ppc64el buildd[1] and I could not
reproduce the issue on a ppc64el porterbox -- the whole build worked
just fine.

Cheers,
-Hilko

The affected tree is one that had been configured using --disable-ocaml,
therefore the special-case handling for index-parse.h did not work.

In the chapter about "Yacc and Lex support", the automake
documentation
claims that adding the generated .h file to BUILT_SOURCES is supposed to
take care of the problem.

If configured with --without-ocaml, the build might fail because the
fix added in df5bd5741b37da9cf97d7a76ac2805557aa630db was not active.
According to the automake documentation, it should be enough to set
BUILT_SOURCES.
