For ages now my smokes have been failing with the occasional 'M' status.  
My life has calmed down enough now for me to investigate this, and it 
*seems* like having set 'makeopt' to '-j2' causes something to fail.  

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed problems with this, or if I'm 
just crazy?

The only evidence I can offer for this is that when -j2 is specified and I 
see M failures in my report the log file (using 58x as an example) 
contains a line like 

Can't locate re.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../../lib ../../lib 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi-64int-ld /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-thread-multi-64int-ld 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at 
../../lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp line 278.

for each M failure, and there is only one 

Can't locate auto/POSIX/autosplit.ix in @INC (@INC contains: ../../lib 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5/i686-linux-stdio /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.5 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/i686-linux-stdio 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at 
../../lib/AutoLoader.pm line 160.

line in the log.

If I change the config so that the 'makeopt' => '' then there is a "Can't
locate auto/POSIX/autosplit.ix ..." line for each combination of
-DDEBUGGING and other flags in the log file.

We will see if this fixes the M failure problems over the next few days.  
I am sorry to have been submitting "noisy" reports for so long.

Regards,

Mike
