I've now stared at your patch for ten minutes and the only part I see
that's conceivably relevant to parallel make is

-    echo "${dir}:; mkdir ${dir}"
-    echo "libgcc/${dir}:; mkdir libgcc/${dir}"
-    all="$all libgcc/${dir} ${dir}"
+    echo "${dir}:; -mkdir ${dir}"
+    echo "libgcc/${dir}: ${dir}; -mkdir libgcc/${dir}"

which causes the directory inside libgcc to depend on the directory
outside.  Which does not fix the problem.  I think you meant

     echo "libgcc/${dir}: libgcc; -mkdir libgcc/${dir}"

The other 45 lines of the patch have nothing to do with the problem as
far as I can tell.

I won't do this again.  If you want people to look at your patches,
post the *patch*, not a URL, to *gcc-patches*, not gcc, and include a
ChangeLog and an explanation of why it fixes the bug.
