Bugzilla Bug 160561

Building pciutils with the -j4 flag, there is a race condition between building
the apps (lspci, setpci) and the library (libpci.a).  It tries to build the
apps before the library has been completely built, resulting in a linker error.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  stick -j4 in your MAKEOPTS
2.  emerge pciutils

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
A successful build.

I'll attach a patch to fix it.
