[Buildroot] defconfig build failure on cubieboard2_defconfig

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

The Travis build of all defconfigs failed last night, on the
cubieboard2_defconfig:

   https://travis-ci.org/buildroot/buildroot-defconfig-testing/jobs/93053316

The error is:

/home/travis/build/buildroot/buildroot-defconfig-testing/buildroot/output/build/uboot-b4bca5e0651b460a4511582f07a935cb48f74948/spl/lib/vsprintf.o:
file not recognized: File truncated

The previous build on 953b84a930fe6872ec349fb977fc9475da501931 was
entirely successful, but last night build on
b29cb968040e31c5fa1abdfbe8d4c26e237d730a failed. But I don't quite see
between those two commits what could have caused the problem:

So this looks like a parallel build issue. Is it possible that U-Boot
doesn't build properly in parallel ? Seems unlikely, no ? Any ideas ?

All other defconfigs built fine.

Thanks,

FWIW, two days later the problem did not reproduce, and then again two
days later, the same problem occurred on the same defconfig, while
building U-Boot, but just on a different file.

Bottom line: we have a parallel build issue happening here I believe.
This there is cubieboard2 support in mainline U-Boot it seems, so it
would probably be a good idea to use this instead of this custom
version.
