[Live-devel] Makefile issue

Problem solved. I'm building liveMedia through a specfile with
rpmbuild, and I have the following macro set:

%_smp_mflags  -j3

This means make runs three jobs simultaneously, resulting in race
condition with liveMedia's Makefiles.
This macro is recommended as a way of spotting build processes with
race conditions that might not rear their heads until you go and try
and build on a SMP machine.

Cheers,
Cian
