Oh, I like it; there do need to be more ways to tackle the whack-a-mole situation that can arise with -j. Glad there's a seed option to make it deterministic.

I did this sort of thing brute force once with a script that used find on a build output to make a big list of all the build artifacts, and then did in effect foreach target in artifacts ; make clean ; make target. Took forever of course, but the set of failed targets is a list of every single target with a missing dependency.
