Hi all,
there seems to be some some missing dependency in the LLVM build system:
$ make -j8 happiness
Updated to revision 140992.

Running the make command again (with j8) proceeds to completion.
This kind of behavior (parallel make fails with "No rule to make ..",
second invocation succeeds) usually means that there is an implicit
dependency which is unknown to make; the missing target is created as
a side-effect but is not explicitly mentioned as the target of a rule
(e.g. is built in a subdir with a rule like
subdir:
cd subdir && make
or a side-effect of a phony target).
Ordinary make -j1 always works because the rule with the side-effect
runs before the rule which needs its output; but parallel make might
start the "consumer" rule before the "supplier" had the
chance to
finish.
