Thanks for clarifying. It took me a little while to break gram.y in
such a way that I was able to consistently reproduce, but I managed in
the end using the attached small diff.
And then running ninja in non-parallel mode:

ninja -C build all -j1

As I expected this problem was indeed fairly easy to address by still
building "backend/parser" before "interfaces". See attached patch.
