Just as a side comment, having the build output directory is not 
recommended. It will typically affect the build speed tremendously, and 
if configure manages to figure out that this is the situation, it prints 
a warning about it.

I remember something about Solaris having problems with parallel mkdirs 
as well, even on non-NFS paths.
