I've recently seen an odd nit involving -j kernel compiles, in which
occasionally the build breaks because of a parse problem and vnode_if.awk. 
I've been meaning to sit down and see if I can reproduce it, I suspect a
dependency problem.  -j should always work for the kernel, but I wonder if
some of the tool upheaval, especially relating to the vnode include stuff
in -CURRENT, has broken it.
