I'm building 4.4 on one linux redhat 7.3 i686 box and installing on a much
slower i486. Make World and make install on the local i686 box complete
successfully, but make install on the 486 does not. Make install is run as root
on the 486, which maps to nobody on the nfs mounted build tree. Make
install seems to replace a number of symbolic links in the build tree, which
it should not do. Make -i allows the installation to complete, but hides
any real problems that might arise.
A snippet from install.log:
installing in lib/font...
make[3]: Entering directory `/work/src/redhat/SOURCES/X440/xc/lib/font'
making all in lib/font/bitmap...
make[4]: Entering directory `/work/src/redhat/SOURCES/X440/xc/lib/font/bitmap'
making all in lib/font/bitmap/module...
make[5]: Entering directory `/work/src/redhat/SOURCES/X440/xc/lib/font/bitmap/module'
rm -f ../../../../exports/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a
rm: cannot unlink `../../../../exports/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a': Permission denied
make[5]: *** [all] Error 1
The interesting part is installing in lib/font becomes making all in it's subdirectories,
instead of just installing. Checking the installation log on the server, the same links
are rebuilt at the same spot, but root has the ability to do the replacements.
I can't compare with 4.3, but 4.2.0 does the same thing, so this is clearly not new
(or critical).
Enjoy Lee
