Dunno if it was a temporary compile problem, but I've actually found that:

  make -j 3 buildkernel

hasn't worked properly for me.  Either it was a temporary thing and may be
fixed now, or it's a property of the buildkernel dependencies, and should
probably be fixed (my kernel build is substantially faster with just a bit
of parallelism to keep the CPU busy).
