Parallel build problems with dovecot 2.2.32

[Craig Leres]

I use dovecot under FreeBSD 10.3 and build using poudriere. My build server has 12 cores builds typically happen in parallel and I find software that is not parallel make friendly will fail once every month or so.

    test_doveadm_util_LDADD = doveadm-util.o $(test_libs) $(MODULE_LIBS)

This is only used in the test-doveadm-util rule:


            @rm -f test-doveadm-util$(EXEEXT)






    test_doveadm_util_DEPENDENCIES = $(test_deps)

bug this isn't something that can easily tested.

Attached is a build log from this afternoon that failed because doveadm-util.o had not finished building when the attempt to link test-doveadm-util happened. Looking in src/doveadm/Makefile* in the build tree the only place I see doveadm-util.o is in a make variable: test-doveadm-util$(EXEEXT): $(test_doveadm_util_OBJECTS) $(test_doveadm_util_DEPENDENCIES) $(EXTRA_test_doveadm_util_DEPENDENCIES) $(AM_V_CCLD)$(LINK) $(test_doveadm_util_OBJECTS) $(test_doveadm_util_LDADD) $(LIBS) So the problem is that doveadm-util.o needs to be an explicit dependency for test-doveadm-util. I believe one possible fix would be to add doveadm-util.o to test_doveadm_util_DEPENDENCIES:
