I was trying to build jquery from git, under Ubuntu 9.10. I had
checked out git://github.com/jquery/jquery.git, but there were a
couple of problems:
(1) 'make init' was failing to fetch 'sizzle'
(2) The fetching was done as a background job, after make had returned
to the shell!

Building selector code from Sizzle
sed: can't read src/sizzle/sizzle.js: No such file or directory
make: *** [selector] Error 2

Looking through the Makefile, I found out the reasons for this:
firstly there was an existing, empty src/sizzle directory which was
preventing the fetch from taking place. And secondly, there were
spurious '&' which were causing the fetches to be done in the
background.
The following patch fixed both of these for me:
diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile

However I suggest it would be much better to use git submodules for
qunit and sizzle, because then 'git submodule update' will do all the
magic for you, and would be able to update existing checkouts too.
