The log shows:
| make[4]: *** [install-binPROGRAMS] Error 1
| make[4]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
This means make was called with -jX.

install first unlinks existing files and creates the new one with
O_EXCL, so "File exists" is a valid error in case of race conditions.
And a quick check reveals that ovs-vsctl is installed two times. It is
included in bin_PROGRAMS and bin_SCRIPTS. They are evalutated in two
different make targets and may run parallel.

It is a race condition. So I'm just opening the bugreport.
