Comment (by RJVB):

 Interesting, a locking issue in libtool? Reminds me that I'm testing a
 binary drop-in replacement for that script; I should try it with VLC
 (evidently there are other advantages to using a compiled alternative).

 Anyway, I've never seen this on my lowly 4-core machines. Could you please
 test with build.jobs=4, or if "many" means "much" more than 4 cores, could
 you try to reduce the job count until your issue disappears? VLC is a
 large enough project not to disable parallel building just because it
 fails with (too) "many cores".
