Is this always in a -current context?

I'm seeing buildkernel fail with -j3 or more. Random places. 
It's building happily with -j2 right now.
My context is in some respects different to yours though.
stable/13 no swap, nfs mounted src obj and ccache-static (v3).

Also the rpi2b is clocked to 1.1GHz and is stable.
