Comment (by mingwandroid):

 Good news! Building at -j1 allowed me to complete a gitian build of
 crosstool-ng.

 To force this, in crosstool.config you need to add:
 CT_PARALLEL_JOBS=1

 It seems a shame to forgo parallelism since everything built ok (to the
 best of my knowledge at least) up to the last thing, which is actually the
 legacy GCC 4.2.1, not clang. I will compare build artefacts to try to
 isolate what exactly causes this. FWIW, gnumake outputs warnings:

 make[5]: warning:  Clock skew detected.  Your build may be incomplete.

 .. forcing a specific date then generating tools (gengtype) that generate
 build artefacts that (Makefile-wise) depend on the build tool that created
 them is in the realm of unspecified behaviour I expect.
