[bug-gawk] gawk-4.0.0 parallel make check race condition

[Jack Howarth]

  I apologize if this is a duplicate posting but my first one didn't seem to
go through. While testing building fink pacakges with parallel builds, we have
noticed that, although the parallel make and make install works fine in gawk
4.0.0, the parallel make check fails due to a race condition where awkprof.out
is used before it is created...

make -k check || exit 2

make 'CFLAGS=-g -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-L/sw/lib' check-local
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `check-local'.
