That's weird. This kind of failure doesn't fit in my understanding of
what could happen, unless you have two make processes running in
parallel in the same filesystem. That said, I admit most of the useful
knowledge is paged out of my active memory.

I admit that working on both bazel.io and asdf makes me sorry for both
systems in some way and want to have a best of both worlds. But not so
much that I've started working on it yet.
