To make things a bit more confusing: After quite some experimenting, including completely new installations of the build host, I occasionally get a successful build. But this appears to happen at random. Sequences of "make dist-clean; make dist-all-rpms" sometimes succeed and sometimes fail. There are no dmesg warnings or other indications of a problem with the running VM.

Is it possible, that the -j$(nproc) causes the problem? I do see "-j12 forced in submake: resetting jobserver mode." warnings from make.

I personally use -j6 because anything higher is unpredictable on my machine. But if that doesn't work, lowering to -j4 should be better.
