Description Enji Cooper freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2013-05-25 19:20:01 UTC
make distribution can fail with -j > 1 if installworld/make hierarchy hasn't completed because multiple targets are being executed in parallel with -j > 1. The error I ran into was the following:

install: target directory `/rel//etc' does not exist
