NFS locking problems

[Guillaume Rousse]

We often encounter NFS locking problem when building packages on 
mandriva build cluster:

autom4te-2.5x: cannot lock autom4te.cache/requests with mode 2 (perhaps
you are running make -j on a lame NFS client?): No locks available

From http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2003-09/msg00095.html, 
it appears to be a normal failure, due to configure.{ac,in} modification 
before building with make -j. However, if it doesn't happen when no 
modification occurs, I guess there should be a way to first force 
regeneration all autotools-dependant files before running make ?
