Message-ID: <20130209083842.03aa5673@lilith> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: u-boot@lists.denx.de Hello, ... this time from the present. Recently I have seen MAKEALL -a arm fail sporadically on some boards during parallel builds; more specifically, with BUILD_NBUILDS=8 and BUILD_NCPUS=1. Has anyone seen this, or is anyone working on MAKEALL arm now and willing to give a look? Note that the actual machine has a 4-core, 8-thread CPU, so maybe that was because the number of parallel builds was just equal to the number of (pseudo) CPUs available; I am now using six parallel builds and haven't seen the issue again so far. On second (and slightly more caffeinated) thought, it could be related to building variants of a single target in boards.cfg -- maybe when cleaning files for one variant while another one is being built. (also, I prepend the command with LANG=C to avoid making the error messages any more French than they already are when I copy-paste them to the list. Not sure how that could have any influence on the build errors, of course.) Amicalement, -- Albert.
