I'm not opposed, though the situation is confusing enough I'd like to
have somebody confirm that my previous analysis makes sense (otherwise,
this is just adding cruft to the Makefile :) ).
Sadly, I can't seem to replicate the original problem, even doing
something like:
n=1
while true; do
make clean;
if ! make -j4; then break; fi
echo $n; n=$(($n+1))
done
(and I tried several variations). It ran for 20 minutes without failing.
My suspicion is that there may be some particular state that triggers
the race condition, but I can't seem to figure it out.
