Ah yes, Lisa is probably right.

This is very likely a makefile bug in gimp-1.2.5: it's trying to use
the file gimpunitmenu.o before it has been built.

I can reproduce the problem when I build from the Debian package but
not in the upstream source.

I think this might be a problem with the version of libtool that
debian uses.  I'll have a look.

This is probably because make aborted and killed the distcc client.

The proper solution is to fix debian's gimp makefile.  The lazy
solution is to build gimp with -j1.
