1.6.5 (I realize that it is older than recommended, but it had been
working fine before 5.5-rc1 :-)).

We still intend to support back to 1.4; this version should work.

I've tried that too, but most often I do something like "make
O=../build/somewhere/ htmldocs".

But I can do "make O=../build/somewhere/ -j 2 htmldocs" too just fine. :-)

I suspect that the O= plays into this somehow; that's not something I do
in my own testing.  I'll try to take a look at this, but I'm on the road
and somewhat distracted at the moment...

Ah! Yes, I've not used O= before. I bet it's something weird between the
parallelism detection of a pre-1.7 version and the O=. I'll see if I can
find the problem...
