Hello,

While following the Vim instructions for LFS 7.5 stable, I received a
lot of test failures along the lines of "file test.out already
exists."  Searching online, I wasn't able find similar failures
reported by anyone building LFS.

After wracking my brain I realized I had the environment variable
MAKEFLAGS set to -j8, and parallel tests was likely the culprit.  Sure
enough, unsetting the flag and having the tests run sequentially
seemed to resolve the issue.

I wonder if it makes sense to add a note to the Vim instructions page
warning against running the tests in parallel?

Thanks!
