As part of Homebrew, we have built 4000+ open source codes on this new 
filesystem, with parallel compilation. Some of them pretty intensive (clang, 
llvm, rust, ghc, and a ton of compilers, libraries, databases, etc.). Many of 
them several times (for testing, etc.). Macports has done the same, probably 
other projects as well.

We have not seen any evidence of a generic issue related to this filesystem. 
Apple is not aware of such an issue either, apparently. Yet, libstdc++ parallel 
builds have a very high failure rate. Other GCC libraries build fine, too.

I do not know how to debug parallel makefiles, otherwise I would do it. I have 
asked help on the GNU Make mailing-list 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2017-08/msg00034.html), but didn’t 
get any. So I cannot prove it (and fix it), but there is overwhelming evidence 
that the problem is in libstdc++.
