Hello, I am running make version 3.81 under Cygwin. I have been successfully using the -j option (-j5, specifically) to speed up the build on my dual-core PC.
I now have a situation where make reaches a point in the build where it enters an "infinite loop". It only does this with the -j option. If I kill it and re-start it without using -j, it will continue on and finish the build. The infinite loop is characterized by one of the CPUs on my dual-core PC being fully used. I've let this run for extended periods and it shows no sign of terminating on its own. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might cause this to occur or how I might track down what to change in my makefiles to get past this? Unfortunately, I don't have a simple test case that shows this behavior, and since I have no clue as to what the cause might be I'm at a loss as to how to approach creating one.
