I was seeing various issues with parallel make, mainly due to to what was likely partially installed headers. If you change into the source directory and "NOISY=1 make ../obj/apt-pkg/sourcelist.opic" in apt-pkg, you'll see it doesn't have any dependencies on the headers being installed. This patch fixes that so things build correctly.
