This failure only appears to happen inside Koji, not on ordinary builds.
Created attachment 346263 [details] build.log Build log from another build failure.
Just posted about this on caml-list, but after I sent the message I think I realized what is happening. I think the problem is we're running parallel make, and the two invocations of ocamlmklib run in parallel. This probably causes one to remove or modify the libmlguestfs.a file created by the other (since both create the same output file).
