Hello,

Some people are hitting a build failure when using high -j make options like
-j18:

In Gentoo we were applying a patch to fix it for 1.9.3... but it looks to be
still needed for 1.9.4aX. This one is the updated version that works for
1.9.4a43:

Maybe it could be upstreamed finally

Thanks a lot
