Follow-up Comment #29, bug #15919 (project make): I took a copy of glibc 2.9 and tried building it with -j10 on my uniprocessor and on my dual core (actually single hyperthreading CPU) and it worked fine.
But when I took it to a 4-way hyperthreading (8 core) system and ran with -j10 I did see some bad behavior: not hangs though. Instead it seemed the same recipe was being invoked >1 time which eventually caused the build system to fail, because at the end of the recipe there's a job that removes a file. If the multiple recipes run in the "right" way then one of the instances removes that file before the next one gets a chance to use it. I'll look at this. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?15919> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
