I have similarly been unable to build 2.2-STABLE using -j 4; things go much faster (i.e., the build is disk-bound not cpu-bound) on my P120, but I start seeing symbol problems somewhere in. Unfortunately, I'm away from my machine as I'm at the IETF, or I would give more details :). My conclusion was that the dependencies were probably not quite right, and concurrency issues resulted it its changing symptoms. This is just an opinion, however. I have, on several occasions, been able to build wihout -j, but not with.
