Some parallel build bugs don't reproduce reliably due to timing, I made a change
to my autobuilders which massively increases the chance of triggering
build failures
in packages which have dependency graph bugs. This triggers build build failures
in -j1 builds which would otherwise only appear when running parallel builds(my
autobuilders are generally running with -j1 to make the logs more readable).

Yes, all my autobuilders were recently changed to use make master(will be
make version 4.4 once released) with top level --shuffle=random.

Details:

Note that MAKE1 is currently broken itself without this when using shuffle mode:
