That's a less than optimal approach to build management. :)

Parallel builds will work perfectly IF you tell the build system about
all dependencies. They don't currently for bindings (including JavaHL)
on Unix, because our build generator cannot represent one-to-many and
many-to-many dependencies; which is silly and should be fixed at some point.

I don't know about bindings on Windows, but the core library dependency
should be as complete as on Unix, since its generated from the same
dataset. If it's not, the project file generator needs some extra love.
