You might also want to consider visual studio builds. It will build two targets at the same time if there is no dependency between them, and would have the same issue.
Currently, we have had no reports about such problems. However, our windows developers (and users) tend to use just the core of PLplot mostly because that was all that was available in the past for our previous home-brew build system for windows, and installing the extra libraries needed for the rest of PLplot (additional language interfaces and additional plot device and plot file drivers) can be an issue for windows users. Thus, it is quite possible our windows developers have so far fortuitously skated by the issue, and that testing of a complete PLplot build on windows would show similar dependency issues to what I am getting now with parallel builds of a complete PLplot under Linux. Hopefully, a complete dependency review and deploying the appropriate workarounds will make all these PLplot parallel build (and potentially windows build) problems go away, but I am definitely concerned the review might miss some complex target- or file-dependency chains that may only cause intermittent and difficult-to-reproduce parallel build problems.
