This is almost certainly a race condition with parallel make jobs. It might also be possible to trigger it with make --shuffle so that the build order of targets is randomized. > When I look at the contents of > ./grub-core/boot/i386/pc/.deps-core/lzma_decompress_image-startup_raw.Po > in a successful build directory, I see that GCC figured out that > rs_decoder.h is a dependency.

I think the .Po files are relevant only for incremental builds -- they let the build system detect which files need to be updated when headers are modified. For an initial clean build, the .Po files will not exist. Any dependency on generated source files would need to be declared explicitly. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
