I was mostly thinking that some step or other in the Makefile has a dependency on that file, and some other step creates it, but the dependency's not explicit. I'd like to find the step(s) that require it and make it a dependency for them, then add in a dependency for the file for whatever step actually creates it, so things get ordered properly. It should (hopefully) be straightforward, but...
I hope after this amount of time someone still wants this fixed.
After much rummaging around I added the following to the makefile and it seems to be working up to 4 Jobs now. I think this may open up a few more problems though.
