Summary: Default archive rules are incompatible with parallel
processing.
Description:
The default archive rules specified in the standard are
".c.a:
$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $<
$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $*.o
rm -f $*.o
.f.a:
$(FC) -c $(FFLAGS) $<
$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $*.o
rm -f $*.o
"
Parallel processing was introduced in
https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1436.
With -j specified these rules can result in an incomplete archive, because
multiple instances of ar are updating the same archive simultaneously.
Desired Action:
One option is to state that these rules are incompatible with parallel
processing.
Another option is to remove these rules from the standard.
