No NFS for sure.

I think this was the first build, but only 99% sure.
It disappered when I restarted the build.

Have not seen this problem repeated, but then, the build on this
machine has other problems

Packages tend to fail since the c++ compiler seems to ignore "--sysroot"

Machine = Ubuntu-11.10 x64.

This is with BB_NUMBER_THREADS = "4"
If I change this, then the same problem occur, but in a different package.
(Tried with "4" AND "24")
