    I'm working on the correct set of .ORDER: directives in the .mk 
files
    to fix the problem.

    If you have problems doing buildworld -j N, just do the buildworld 
without
    the -j N.  I expect to commit fixes later this evening (I'm running
    buildworld -j 4's on four different machines in a loop to try to 
locate
    all the ordering issues).

Great! , this has always been a problem dating back to FreeBSD. The
problems seem to happen almost at random, I guess depending on
things like buffer cache state to affect the atomicity of the operations
such at mkdir. Thanks
