I see. I don't use Make this way but if there is a special concept of
"intermediate files" then perhaps we instead need something that
treats those in a special way whenever there is a parallel build in
progress ?

The problem that 'ar' must be serialized when operating on a library
isn't related to the object files being intermediate, so no hacking
there will fix it.

Meanwhile, the problem that you can't (usefully) have the library
object be intermediate when using full-library assemby is fundamental,
as the whole point of the intermediate concept is that the files are
removed as soon as they are no longer needed for a given 'make'
invocation.
