make dist -j24 fails, and make raises warnings

[alejandro-colomar]

I tried make dist -j24, but it fails. Maybe the build system has either race conditions, or missing/wrong dependencies.

It is unstable: in some runs it succeeds, and in others it fails.

Here's the error log, if anyone can make sense of it.

It seems something to do with the names of the manual pages, which we autogenerate from the names of the xml files, but the Makefile raises a few warnings.

A simple ./autoget.sh && make -j24 produces similar warnings (although I haven't seen errors there):

Here's a fragment of the log:
