Building host-python in parallel sometimes causes "Bus error" during the installation step on our autobuilders, such as: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/04bcc907c5e075fe1f39d4f49dcc50ec93708eb4/build-end.log Extensive testing on one autobuilder has shown that building host-python with MAKE1 work arounds this strange problem.
