Please find attached a patch to make texi-vers.am compatible with parallel builds. 
I tried this patch with my build for pspp here and it works. During execution the existance
of vti.tmp is checked. Only when vti.tmp disappears, the processing continues. When there is
a stale vti.tmp file the processing will wait forever. When the make process is the interrupted, e.g.
with ctrl-c, the vti.tmp file is removed. Then the next make attempt should work. 

Friedrich
