in this time window.

Installing with -j2 or greater could result in a failure like

maint: avoid "make distcheck" failure due to excess .deps directories
* Makefile.am (my-distcheck): Remove all .deps directories before the
recursive diff that searches for left-behind files. Otherwise, with
automake master (some time after v1.15), "make distcheck" would fail
due to those directories being left behind after "make distclean".
