Understood.  Let me look closer.  My build setup is an Ubuntu 10.04 system and I'm using an external Arago toolchain as well.  On my setup I can consistently cause this to fail even with a lower number of threads.  So perhaps the issue is not the libtool-cross dependency, but that libtool-cross itself forces something else to be built first.  Thanks for the information on your setup and confirmation that you do not see this issue.
