Hello,
 
I seem to get errors with quite a few ports if I use the make -j option.
The errors surround multiple make commands not getting the files it expects
in order.  Is this the correct behaviour?
 
make -j 8 install clean
install  -s -o root -g wheel -m 555
/usr/ports/net/boinc_curses/work/boinc_curses-0.1.9/boinc_curses
/usr/local/bin/
install: /usr/ports/net/boinc_curses/work/boinc_curses-0.1.9/boinc_curses:
No such file or directory

This is on a quad core amd64 box. I seem to get this error on a number of
ports, for example recompiling gnome2, mysql etc etc.  So my CPU never
really maxes and the builds take longer than they should.
 
Any ideas?
