Right it serializes build dependencies. The problem with crunchgen ...
I would argue "the problem with make"... ;-) I think it's pretty clear that
a b c: foo buildabc
does not require that 'buildabc' be run three times. Make should be able to note that 'buildabc' was already spawned for 'a' and just add 'b' and 'c' to the wait list for that operation, rather than running additional copies.
It may not be quite that simple, when it gets to splitting apart the make rules to build things in parallel. I tracked down two problems with parallel builds, and in both cases make was "doing the right thing", given the rules that it was working with. On the other hand, I'm certainly no expert when it comes to writing makefiles for parallel builds.
In any case, the suggested change did not solve the problem for me, when doing a make -j5 buildworld. I still get the failure with:
make: don't know how to make /usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue//usr/src/sbin/dhclie
nt/client/clparse.o. Stop
If there's some other way I should run the buildworld to generate a more helpful output, let me know. The failure seems to be 100% reproducible on my machine, at least if I start out by removing all of /usr/obj/usr/src.
