FWIW, I use -j4 or -j6 all the time (depening on how many cores I have on
the machine I am using.) That said, it is certainly possible that there is
some problem with dependencies that leads to intermittent problems. These
dependencies are built by cmake (which should be an advantage compared to the
hand-built perl scripts we used to use to generate dependencies), but it
depends both the on the accuracy of the information we give to cmake, and on
its internal ability to create the correct connections.

I *do* find it hard to know when one needs to rm the CMakeCache.txt file when
re-running cmake itself. My inclination is to always do this, even if it
takes a few extra seconds at the build stage.
