Also included are some non-parallel-make-safe constructs. In general,
anything which can cause recursion to a parent directory is unsafe; I
just had two subdirectories attempt to recreate Versions.v.i at the
same time. Looks like rtld-csu and rtld-gmon.
That is redundant but should not be unsafe. That is, the unnecessary
rebuilds should produce the correct results.
I just had a look at how Versions.v.i is built, and I guess
it looks safe, but only because that rule was carefully
written... it's a bit unnerving as a newbie to have to trust that...
but then us newbies have to take a lot on faith, don't we?
