The real error *was* given.  However, since you were building with -j, the
other 5 (non-terminated) make processes continued on until they realized
that an error had occurred.  This caused the real error to scroll off the
screen, and gives the impression that it stopped in the middle of nowhere.

When I build wiht -j, I usually do something like 'make -j6 2>&1 | tee
/tmp/build.output' so that I've got a text log of the build which I can
refer to when pseudo-strange things like this happen.
