Bug#968189: muroar: non-deterministically FTBFS (or not reproducible)

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] I noticed that
muroar could not be reliably built. For example, sometimes it does
not build the muroar shared library at the right time (?) so the
linker fails.

It will usually build for me, but it also will not build
reproducibility.

I don't know whether this is CPU-level parallelism or filesystem
ordering, but setting --no-parallel appears to make it build 10s of
time in a row.

Patch attached, but I suspect the real bug is in the upstream Makefile.
