 Upgrading epstool fails with:
 {{{
 :info:build /usr/bin/clang -I./src -I./epsobj -I/opt/local/include -DX11
 -DUNIX -DNONAG  -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations
 -Wmissing-prototypes -fno-builtin -fno-common -Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings
 -g      -o ./epsobj/xnodll.o -c ./src/xnodll.c
 :info:build mkdir ./epsobj
 :info:build error: unable to open output file './epsobj/xnodll.o': 'Error
 opening output file './epsobj/xnodll.o''
 :info:build 1 error generated.
 :info:build echo "dummy" > ./epsobj/lib.rsp
 :info:build make: *** [epsobj/xnodll.o] Error 1
 :info:build make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
 }}}

 To me this looks like the wrong order of commands, that is:
 {{{
 mkdir ./epsobj
 }}}
 should probably happen before the compiler tries to write to `-o
 ./epsobj/xnodll.o`

 After repeating the build it seems to go through successfully.

 I suggest to either disable parallel build with
 {{{
 use_parallel_build  no
 }}}
 or try to fix the problem properly, possibly coordinating with upstream
 developers.
