Bug Description
This is the output that I get when I run ‘make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install’ with my environment configured for make to use several jobs:
make[1]: Entering directory '/chakra/
make[2]: Entering directory '/chakra/
/usr/bin/mkdir -p '/chakra/

Things work if I use ‘-j1’ (‘make -j1 DESTDIR=$pkgdir install’ to override my environment setting.

Thanks for the report. I've seen this myself, randomly. Re-running it often makes it work, which is why I haven't looked into it more.
I'm thinking that we need to better tell Automake how things depend on each other.
