Yep, that's how I do it.
The problem with the documentation was that, for example, the rule to build
"wireshark-filter.pod" was in doc/Makefile, both "wireshark-filter.4" and
"wireshark-filter.html" depend on that file, and 'make' in the top-level
directory would try to build both the .4 and .html file in parallel--not
knowing (like doc/Makefile does) that both files depend on the .pod file. As a
result, the pod is built in parallel which, well, sometimes leads to a
corrupt/empty file.
I think the other problem I had seen before was in epan/dissectors: 2 make
targets are generated from a single rule/script execution(?) so 'make' runs
them in parallel. I read some stuff on the 'net about it but I didn't see an
easy answer.
