I'm starting from a clean workspace, and copying in the .config, feeds.conf, and a copy of the dl folder (just to keep OpenWRT from having to re-download anything). > Try compiling without a -j flag.

It's definitely a parallel build issue, but that's the problem I want to see fixed. :-) > Now, what I think is happening here is that we have a race between a couple > of compilation threads, one of which is the sed utility.

When sed is needed in the linux-headers prepare step, the staging area for the host isn't even set up yet. It looks to me like toolchain/prepare (or something like it) needs to depend on tools/install. > That said, I have put a "sleep 500" in my sed makefile, which basically > means that every other package that is allowed to do so will build and > install first, and I have been unable to reproduce. I'm fortunate in that I have one machine I'm consistently able to reproduce the issue on. > If it's not cleared up shortly, go ahead and open a ticket on > dev.openwrt.org Thanks for the tips. Hopefully, someone else can chime in and offer another fix.
