Subject: [PATCH] sdcc: fix the device library race in parallel builds

The mcs51 library target writes into ../build/$(PORT) without depending on
it, so with -j the archiver can start before the directory exists and the
toolchain build fails with

  sdar: ../build/small/mcs51.lib: No such file or directory

It is intermittent: the same tree builds fine on a retry.
