"This should never happen", but frequently does. The whole point of 
makefiles is to figure out dependencies and "do stuff". If you know what 
depends on what, figuring out what can be done in parallel is a trivial 
task. If that breaks the makefile, there is probably some assumption 
about build order coded into the makefile. If you care about what you 
are building, this is probably worth tracking down. Just like running 
your multi-threaded application for the first time on a multi-processor 
box. If it breaks in new and interesting ways, there's something you 
forgot :-).
