RE: [bug #14853] make randomly fails with interrupted system call on slower filesystems with parallel builds |

Hi Andrew,
Attached is the patch that I created for make v3.80. I also found that with
this patch, packages I have never been able to successfully build in
parallel mode now build with any number of parallel jobs.
I also tried make v3.81 and found it still suffered from the same issues
regarding interrupted system calls on Solaris and NFS filesystems.
I have been using the patched version of 3.80 for over a year now and have
not seen any of these strange failures.
Regards,
Steve

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #14853 (project make):
It was indeed the same problem. Since Steve Williams patch does not
seem to be available, I used the description to create my own.
I have built an entire gnu/linux distro including gcc, glibc and the kernel
using the patched make at -j12 on a 6 core sun T1000 without a single
failure. Without the patch, I could only build gcc successfully about 1 in 3
times.
I highly recommend a fix such as this be applied ASAP since make is curently
very broken at high -j# on multi-core machines.
My patch is attached for reference.
