Source: gambc
Version: 4.8.8-2
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

The latest build of gambc for hppa failed due to a race between
parallel runs of tests 7 and 10:

  ------------ TEST 7 (memory management and C-interface)
  rm -f mem.c mem_.c mem.o mem_.o mem
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:../gsi:../gsc: ../gsc/gsc 
-:~~bin=../bin,~~lib=../lib,~~include=../include -f -warnings -o mem -exe 
mem.scm
  [...]
  ------------ TEST 10 (consistency of lib/gambit#.scm)
  rm -rf mem.o mem.o*
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib:../gsi:../gsc: ../gsc/gsc 
-:~~bin=../bin,~~lib=../lib,~~include=../include -f -i test10.scm
  gcc: error: mem.o: No such file or directory
  makefile:148: recipe for target 'test7' failed
  make[2]: *** [test7] Error 70

This error happened to occur on the non-release architecture hppa, but
could in principle strike elsewhere, including on release
architectures.  To avoid it, I'd suggest simply arranging to run the
tests one at a time.  (Running the remainder of the build in parallel
appears to be safe, though.)

Could you please take a look?

Thanks!
