In general this problem are due to concurrency of the various
parallel runs.
Most of the builds do not show the problem but from time to
time we have seen some case and then we reduce the -jX value.

Less than 10% of my packages are built with -j1

I have some doubts that make is correctly interpreting the load avg
on cygwin. Looking at the old build logs I would say no

features/load ........................................... N/A
