xfbuild has racing problems, according to its creator. He recommended me to force xfbuild to use only one thread. I had issues where it's output would quite literally come out in an alien language. When there are problems I have to re-run xfbuild several times until it finally builds properly.
I wonder if this issue is caused by D1's shared-by-default state.
