I am seeing the precise symptoms that were discussed previously:
see

Problem 5: Old Versions of gmake and NFS
Very old versions of gmake will sometimes fail for parallel builds (but succeed for serial builds) when invoked in an NFS-mounted directory. The failure will manifest itself as a report that either of these has occurred:
* One of the sources cannot be created:
gmake: *** No way to make target 'some_source.c'. Stop.
gmake: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
The source target does exist and apparently is not detected
effectively. The problem is intermittent.
I didn't find any other detail on this, other than the version
3.79 or newer should fix the problem. I am running 3.79.1 and
have tried 3.80 as well.
Anything new on this or is anyone else experiencing problems with
parallel builds on NFS?
Thanks,
- Richrd
