Build randomly fails since December 2017 on:

make[5]: Entering directory '/home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-2/output-1/build/ecryptfs-utils-111/src/utils'
 /bin/mkdir -p '/home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-2/output-1/target/sbin'
  /bin/bash ../../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c mount.ecryptfs umount.ecryptfs mount.ecryptfs_private '/home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-2/output-1/target/sbin'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c mount.ecryptfs /home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-2/output-1/target/sbin/mount.ecryptfs
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/home/buildroot/autobuild/instance-2/output-1/target/sbin/mount.ecryptfs': File exists
Makefile:832: recipe for target 'install-rootsbinPROGRAMS' failed
make[5]: *** [install-rootsbinPROGRAMS] Error 1

Changes v2 -> v3 (after review of Thomas Petazzoni):
 - Update Makefile.in instead of Makefile.am to avoid running autoreconf
   which depends on AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT

Changes v1 -> v2 (after review of Thomas Petazzoni):
 - Fix parallel build issue instead of disabling it

+make[5]: *** [install-rootsbinPROGRAMS] Error 1
+
+As spotted by Thomas Petazzoni, build failure happens because of the
+following line in src/utils/Makefile.am:
+
+install-exec-hook:      install-rootsbinPROGRAMS
+        -rm -f "$(DESTDIR)/$(rootsbindir)/umount.ecryptfs_private"
+        $(LN_S) "mount.ecryptfs_private" "$(DESTDIR)/$(rootsbindir)/umount.ecryptfs_private"
+
+The install-exec-hook target should not have a dependency on
+install-rootsbinPROGRAMS.
+
+From https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Extending.html#Extending:
+
+"""
+In contrast, some rules also have a way to run another rule, called a
+hook; hooks are always executed after the main rule’s work is done. The
+hook is named after the principal target, with ‘-hook’ appended. The
+targets allowing hooks are install-data, install-exec, uninstall, dist,
+and distcheck.
+
+For instance, here is how to create a hard link to an installed program:
+
+install-exec-hook:
+        ln $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/program$(EXEEXT) \
+           $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/proglink$(EXEEXT)
+
+"""
+
+So, they explicitly say that these hooks are run after the main rule
+work is done, which means the dependency on install-rootsbinPROGRAMS is
+not needed. And the example they use to illustrate is *exactly* the
+situation of ecryptfs-utils: creating a link to a program that was
+installed.
