At the risk of asking too simplistic questions ...

1) Do all the failures you observe have a "related to SDBM_File" aspect?

2) You say that these failures occur during "parallel builds".  Does
that mean 'make -j2'?  In there some particular level at which these
failures become manifest, e.g., 'make -j4'?

3) You describe these as "occasional."  Have you been able to observe
any pattern to the failures?

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
