While you're waiting for that, perhaps you could pursue the problem I did take the time to provide a reduced test case for in November: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake/2010-11/msg00135.html Note that this issue is no longer a problem for NTP -- autogen's libopts now provides LIBOPTS_CHECK_NOBUILD, which sidesteps the need to conditionalize AC_CONFIG_FILES([libopts/Makefile]), and works correctly on Automake 1.10, which doesn't support AM_COND_IF conditionalization of AC_CONFIG_FILES. I am annoyed no one has taken the time to follow up after I took the time to produce a reduced test case illustrating the automake misbehavior, and each time I see a request for a reduced repro, I wonder what I might have done wrong in anticipating the request and providing the reduced test case in the initial report.

GNU make does not misbehave this way, so for now I'll use that. Does the failure happen reliably, i.e., every time, or only sometimes? It happens reliably with any N in make -jN. Does 'make -B -jN' work for you reliably? Yes, that works as expected and executes the right command (the one also executed without -jN). Which exact FreeBSD version are you using? I'm kind of suspecting a bug in the make implementation, or we're overlooking something with one-shell issues.

Hello Pippijn, * Pippijn van Steenhoven wrote on Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 09:24:42AM CET: I am using the FreeBSD make utility to build an automake based distribution. When I run make with a -j option (even -j1), it fails. Running make with a -j option makes the utility behave differently. The issue only arises with built sources (in my case, yacc generated C code), since those trigger the inference rule .c.lo. Perhaps a solution would be to also generate explicit rules for built sources. I have attached the output of running make with and without -j1. Thanks for the bug report.
