[XALANC-696] Parallel build fails

• Type: Bug

Description

In xalanc/Makefile.in, the "lib" target depends on "locale" and "compile", among others. "compile" in turn depends on $(ALL_OBJECTS). Some objects in $(ALL_OBJECTS) do in fact require the LocalMsgIndex.hpp installed by the locale target. This dependency isn't expressed in the Makefile, though. In a serial build, "locale" will be built before "compile", and all is well. In a parallel build, however, i.e. passing "-j5" or similar to make, it is legal for make to build "locale" and "$(ALL_OBJECTS)" at the same time, causing the build to fail with an error message like this:
