On our Windows servers the BUILD BIN stage uses the following compound command to produce the binary package: rm -rf msa.buildbin-libdir && mkdir msa.buildbin-libdir && C:\Users\biocbuild\bbs-3.10-bioc\R\bin\R.exe CMD INSTALL --merge-multiarch --build --library=msa.buildbin-libdir msa_1.17.0.tar.gz (Note that you can see this command at the top of the details page for this stage). As you can see, we use --library=msa.buildbin-libdir to install to a freshly created folder created at the beginning of the command. Command components are chained with && to make sure that it will not proceed further if one component fails so the 'R CMD INSTALL' component won't run if for example 'rm -rf msa.buildbin-libdir' fails which guarantees that we start with a fresh folder. I think this looks indeed like a leftover/stale .o file but I think the file is in the source tarball produced by the BUILD stage (msa_1.17.0.tar.gz). If you look at your cleanup.win script, it doesn't remove the stuff in src/ClustalOmega/src/exceptions4c/ so I think what happens is that at the end of compilation the folder contains all the *.o files for the 64-bit arch and these files get included in the source tarball. Then the BUILD BIN stage choke on these files during the 'install for i386' step. 'diff cleanup cleanup.win' actually shows many differences between the 2 scripts. You might want to review them closely as it looks like some of them are not intended. > > The second issue: the 'msa' package integrates multiple other open > source packages in one shared library.

It doesn't compile anything, it only bundles things in one single *static* (not shared) library (.a file). > This has always worked fine, and > on the Bioconductor build servers, too.

Any thoughts on this? Don't know. You might want to try SO or R-devel for this one.
