Makefiles describe a DAG of build tasks. Sometimes, the DAG that is described doesn’t match the intended DAG. Instead, the package just “happens” to build correctly sequentially, with a specific ‘make’ implementation. In such cases, building in parallel or using a different ‘make’ implementation is likely to uncover the bug.
