The linking of rootcling_stage1 and libCling requires a lot of memory.
Since these are linked from mostly the same objects, the build is ready
to link them at the same time. If you make a parallel build this means
that the two targets that require the most amount of memory are being
linked in parallel. This exhausts the available memory, and the
computer starts swapping.
This adds a dependency of one of the targets to the other. The dependency is
not really there since it is not needed for building, but it prevents the
two memory consuming targets to be built in parallel.
A similar dependency existed before the code latest code changes
(see commit 2638f6f), then between
rootcling and libCling.
