When running under testnode, there was sometimes this failure:

The order of in which installing patched package-lib and installing patched package are printed is not always same.

This test does make install install-lib with a Makefile containing:

all:
        @echo building package

install:
        @echo installing package

install-lib:
        @echo installing package-lib

@vpelletier and I investigated this and he pointed out that order of parts depends is not stable when make is invoked with -j option.

Turned out that on test node MAKEFLAGS is set to -j12.
