I also see the breakage with -j8 "make release", but in a different place,
while building "krb5" dist.  I'm currently testing this patch.

Now I know why running "make all install" is not a good idea (in the -j
case).  ``.ORDER: all install'' or ``.ORDER: includes incsinstall'' do not
work because these do not cause the necessary ordering for sub-dependents.
What I mean here is that:

all: ${PROG} ${SCRIPTS} ${FILES} _includes _manpages
install: realinstall
realinstall: _proginstall _scriptsinstall _filesinstall _incsinstall _maninstall

And ``.ORDER: all install'' does not cause e.g. _includes and _incsinstall
to be run in sequence.

One might now wonder why not fix it like this:

.ORDER: _includes _incsinstall

The answer is that makefiles are allowed to redefine "includes" and/or
"incsinstall".  In that case, _includes and/or _incsinstall won't even
be defined, and we'd now have to make sure (in this particular makefile)
that "make includes incsinstall" works in -j case by providing the
necessary .ORDER'ing, while not running "making" and "installing" parts
together in the -j case will "just work".

<PS>
Bruce, yes I am aware of the problem with _incsinstall attempting to
"make" includes if they are not built.

I even attempted to fix it like this:

%%%
.if exists(${file})
_fooinstall: _fooinstall_${file}
_fooinstall_${file}: ${file}
        ${INSTALL} ${.ALLSRC} ...
.endif
%%%

But this unfortunately breaks the common "make all install" case, which
is (as should be apparent from the previous paragraph) is just wrong in
the -j case.
</PS>
