I can reproduce it under "dpkg-buildpackage -j4", which is what you've
been using. However, the package does not announce support for parallel
builds, and a non-parallel build succeeded here. Thus lowering the
severity.
Building arbitrary packages in parallel is not a good idea since it can
easily result in misbuilds.
