Comment (by RJVB):

 Does it continue NOT to work for you? Have you ever tried to figure out
 from what amount of parallelism onwards (build.jobs=N) the problem occurs
 (or rather, how many parallel jobs you can use without running into
 problems)?

 If so, would you be interested in trying with the binary replacement I
 mentioned (slibtool)? That should now work.

 FWIW, VLC only uses libtool for the linking steps (via a rather
 complicated mechanism), so there is little to be gained from using it in
 terms of performance - but "builds" vs. "fails to build" would be an
 infinite gain in that department ;)
