In v2v, 'stringMap.ml' has no corresponding *.mli file. ocamldep does
not generate a *.cmi dependency for such modules, and this can result
in parallel builds failing rarely because:
(1) stringMap.ml is built (which has the side-effect of generating
stringMap.cmi)
(2) at the same time, types.mli is compiled. types.mli depends on
stringMap.cmi, but it is half way through being created by (1).
There is no dependency to serialize (1) and (2).
The resulting error is:
File "types.mli", line 1:
Error: Corrupted compiled interface
stringMap.cmi
Using 'ocamldep -all' generates extra deps for the *.cmi files, and
otherwise appears to be safe, so use it.
There are currently a few upstream OCaml bugs with dependencies and
parallel builds:

It's not clear which of these apply here.
