thank you for the bug report.

The automake changelog contains this entry:

2005-03-29  Alexandre Duret-Lutz
        * lib/am/lisp.am ($(am__ELCFILES)): Prevent races if the recover
        rule is run with `make -j'.

Thus I believe your problem might have been fixed in current Automake.

To verify this, you'd have to install the CVS version of Auomake and the
CVS version of Autoconf (or at least the test release 2.59b), and
rebuild the gettext tarball with these tools.
Are you able and willing to perform this test?
Or does anyone here volunteer to prepare a test tarball?

Have a nice day,
