Does that mean this bug is only in a customization you made yourself?
Or is this something other users will experience as well?

Please note that when you correct this yourself, you should place any
temporary object files elsewhere or give them a unique name (a la
mktemp), so that you don't experience corruption races when doing
parallel builds of code using make without Automake, and building
several targets from same sources, for example.

Cheers,
Ralf
