Bug#1085168: genders: FTBFS on mips64el and ppc64el: parallel build issue?

Source: genders
Version: 1.27-3-2
Severity: serious

This package failed to build from source with Perl 5.40 on mips64el and ppc64el.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=genders

It looks the build invokes bison multiple times on the same file,
presumably corrupting the result during parallel builds as there's
no locking. I was able to reproduce it on platti.debian.org with
'dpkg-buildpackage -j4' (but not with plain 'debian/rules build'.)

I doubt it's really architecture specific. Maybe disable parallel builds
if there's no better fix?

From the mips64el log:
