Build fails on network home directories mounted over AFP + Parallel make doesn't work

[Alastair Houghton]

Hi there,

Just a note to let you know that Emacs currently (latest sources from  
CVS) won't build on Mac OS X if the sources are in a folder mounted  
remotely via AFP.  The problem seems to be related to an attempt to  
create a hard link (from "emacs" to "emacs-<version>") during the  
build process.

Additionally, GNU Make's parallel make feature prevents Emacs from  
building successfully (typically this results in "require" failures  
when loading Elisp files).

Both are easily worked around; builds on local disks on OS X work  
fine, and using non-parallel make also works.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
