But i couldnt reproduce > after that. I've seen it occasionally on a dual-core, as well, but was never able to track it down. I suspect it is caused by the fact that there are two rules which recurse into the perl subdir: perl/perl.mak, if needed, will recurse, as will "all". So I think we are losing the usual parallelism guard there, and we have two makes running inside "perl" at the same time, both of which then try to make perl.mak and step on each other. But I still can't reproduce it at will, so it is hard to test. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
