Package: makeparallel Version: 1:8.1.0+r23-3ubuntu2 Severity: important
The makeparallel command does not correctly determine the number of jobs it should use. This is because it determines the the jobserver pipe fds from the "--jobserver-fds" options [1]. However, this option was renamed in make 4.2 to be "--jobserver-args" [2]. This causes makeparallel to instead guess the number of jobs based on the number of CPUs. I believe this is more of an upstream issue, but unfortunately makeparallel was removed from android-platform-build 11 [3]. So it does not look like it will be fixed. A minimal patch would look something like diff --git a/tools/makeparallel/makeparallel.cpp b/tools/makeparallel/makeparallel.cpp index 66babdf13d..a123308bb1 100644 --- a/tools/makeparallel/makeparallel.cpp +++ b/tools/makeparallel/makeparallel.cpp @@ -115,6 +115,7 @@ static bool ParseMakeflags(std::vector<std::string>& args, while (1) { const static option longopts[] = { {"jobserver-fds", required_argument, 0, 0}, + {"jobserver-args", required_argument, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, }; int longopt_index = 0; -- [1] https://salsa.debian.org/android-tools-team/android-platform-build/-/blob/28768b3120f751583a2743101b892f210d4715cf/tools/makeparallel/makeparallel.cpp#L117 [2] https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/make.git/commit/?id=c9e6ab9a [3] https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/893948955dc53ff2910920679ad5640dda0b2d48
