--- Begin Message ---Hello from Debian. We have detected that alpine Makefiles are not ready to be run in parallel. (Maybe this was already known, maybe not). There are two bugs about this in the Debian bug system: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1089250 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1105270 The first one, now closed, is part of a full archive rebuild made with make 4.4 before make 4.4 was uploaded for Debian unstable. We solved the problem by limiting parallelism to one thread (that's essentially what is achieved by using --max-parallel=1). The second one (which is the one I'm forwarding now, since the underlying problem is still there) is also part of a full archive rebuild, but made with "make --shuffle=reverse" to intentionally trigger build errors. If you ever decide to review the Makefiles so that they allow parallelism (which would be great, as it would allow everybody to use make -jN), there is an interesting reading here from the programmer who implemented the --shuffle option: https://trofi.github.io/posts/238-new-make-shuffle-mode.html [ If you want to reply, please keep [email protected] in the Cc ] Thanks.
