Follow-up Comment #5, bug #58979 (project make):
I will work on gathering the make files. It will take time that I don't have
right now.
I do have some more data about this problem. I run this build system on many
different machines. The machines have varying numbers of cores, processor
speeds, etc.
On some machines, make failures are rare or non-existent. The machine that
consistently fails is somewhat unique, in that it has 6 cores. It may be
total coincidence. But I wonder if there's a race condition somewhere. Some
race conditions are sensitive to processor timing, system load, etc.
I also tried running the build with no -j argument. It takes a very long
time, but it succeeds on the machine that consistently fails with -j6. As I
mentioned, we were not seeing a problem running 3.81.
Cheers,
Dave Hefner
