Yes.

No. The problem happens in a single directory, and arises because
there are two cleandir rules (one the one I patched, one in
libkern/Makefile.inc or similar) with no ordering constraint that blow
up if run simultaneously.

The reason it blows up is that obj/lib/libkern (or libsa or whatever)
gets removed by one while the other one is trying to chdir into it to
make clean. The constraint I put in requires that the chdir-based
rules finish before obj/lib can be rm -r'd.
