If I empty out /usr/obj, then the build works, but takes a few hours. If I do a no-clean build with /obj/obj populated with he contents of a previous build, and /usr/src with updated ("svn update") sources, then the below nearly always happens early in the rebuild. It is in "stage 4.4: building everything" that this happens. The build is parallel (-j8), and I have manually de-threaded the output.

Yes, although simply restarting the build seems to avoid the problem on 
the second attempt.

However, I'm building on a dual quad-core amd64 platform (8 cores total) 
so it's not just ARM being affected,
