In that case, the first make was expecting temporary files, It made them, but didn't wait for the IO to finish so that when the file was opened, it really was there. On the second make pass, the file wasn't made because it was present. Making the second attempt succeed. I can't say if this is your issue or not, but its worth looking at. Hope this helps.
