i bet you're running into this bug:

http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20033

... which happens to be very familiar to me :)

the problem is that Ubuntu (and Debian) ship a very outdated release of
GNU make; as you can see the bug was fixed in 2007 already.

you can either:

- upgrade to GNU make 3.82 or newer

- apply the patch referenced in the bug report to GNU make 3.81 and
rebuild (this has reliably solved the problem for me)

- stop using -jN and build without parallelism (and much slower)
