Description
I have attached a sample project that builds properly for -j1 but when using -j8 fails to properly generate a header that is needed to build. I confirmed that this problem still exists in svn 86460.
Single thread builds properly:

Multiple threads fails to build the autogenerated header:

The attached project is a sample instance of what we are doing on a larger scale in our code base. I have also seen other instances of this manifest themselves when building many variants at the same time with concurrency enabled. What happens in this case, is that the dependency is properly reported in the -d+12 output but for some reason the header needed is sometimes not generated until after the file that depends on it is compiled. Unfortunately, it is hard to provide example of these failures with our entire code base.
