Actually, I never saw a problem building gtk+2 on a dual quad-core MacPro
but this re-enforces my suspicion that the problem with fink make is a
threading race condition that will selectively trigger depending on the
number of cores and processor speed of a given machine (meaning that all
parallel builds under fink make on 10.11 are fragile). Perhaps a better fix
would be to have fink conditionally use /usr/bin/make rather than make for
the CompileScript's default_script when executed on 10.11. This would at
least automatically solve the issue for all packages using
%{default_script}.
