Nicolas, try lowering your MAKEOPTS to -j2.
thats strange, after trying three times without changing anything, it worked... could be another builtutils-issue... thx for the replying :)
It seems that there is a bug in Makefile causing race condition in parallel make (that's why compilation works only sometimes). Temporarily I have added -j1 to emake but I will report it to the upstream.
