The second (and more serious) problem arises during the build of
   xwave's own libfwf.a. Randomly, at least one of the OBJS is not
   'ar'ed into libfwf. Is this a problem of the parallelized make?
   You can not repeat exactly the error; the next time, another of
   FWF's OBJS might be missing in libfwf.a.

   Maybe there is a problem related to the change in FWF/FWF.rules
   in VERSION 3.65 (see FWF/README.NOTES: "Hacked FWF.rules to
   make AddToLibrary try to build library only if objects are   
   newer than library.").

   Since I am not at all a compiler and linker specialist, I propose,
   to do a final 'ar' of all OBJS after all of them are build. This
   can be done by adding an auxiliary target in FWF/Imakefile.
