Comment (by mingwandroid):

 I forked and committed 4 patches.

 https://github.com/mingwandroid/libfaketime

 .. and made a pull request to upstream:

 https://github.com/wolfcw/libfaketime/pull/34

 Yes for now I recommend sticking with -j1, and in-fact even though I think
 these are 'good' fixes within the remit of libfaketime, I suspect that
 they may turn occasional failure in gitian into deterministic failure!

 .. this is just speculation at this point (it could actually make things
 work with -jN). To know for sure, and so that I can apply fixes needed
 elsewhere in the build system I need to build a .deb for libfaketime with
 my patches and roll that into the gitian descriptors. My .deb building
 skills are non-existent so I'd appreciate help with that.
