There is no longer a difference between software-compilation time and
doc-compilation time: the doc can be built in parallel with packages.
Could that explain that sometimes, I get a build error for some random
packages, and that retrying immediately (i. e. with no modification of
the tree) another attempt at make succeeds ?
You mean when building the docs or packages? For the docs, you are
right: the docbuild failures aren't truly failures, they are warnings
which Sage makes into errors. So rebuilding the doc will simply skip the
so-called failed part.
For packages, what you describe should not happen. It can happen only
when building in parallel, although we probably fixed most bugs of that
type. If it happens when building non-parallel, a more likely
explanation is a problem with either the hardware or the operating system.
