parallel make feature...

[Tat Lam]

Hi,

I am using the parallel make feature through the "-j" flag.
Frequently, my build will stop because the threads are not in sync with each
other.
For example, one of my rules has to do:
rm /tmp/link1
ln -s realfile /tmplink1


>From the make output, I will have:
rm /tmp/link1
rm /tmp/link1
ln -s realfile /tmp/link1
ln -s realfile /tmp/link1
ln: /tmp/link1: file exists
Make: Error 2

Has anybody ran into this kind of problem?
How can I correct it?
Thanks in advance.
        TAT
