Any idea, what's going on? Is it an ordering issue? Hard links being extracted before the target has been extracted?
Thanks,

Yeah, this is a case-insensitive filesystem issue as far as I can
tell. I don't have a good solution for it, I run make with
ALLOW_FAILURE=true on macOS so that it will continue extracting the
tarballs anyway. Unfortunately it seems that some pages just end
up missing, but I don't have any ideas how to work around it.
