rand is not random enough and may lead to clashing temporary directories with multiple parallel link processes as it was observed on Rust's CI.
It can be reproduced with these commands (run them all in without long pauses): for n in {1..15000}; do rm -f lib/libLLVMAVRAsmParser.a && \ ar qc lib/libLLVMAVRAsmParser.a lib/Target/AVR/AsmParser/CMakeFiles/LLVMAVRAsmParser.dir/AVRAsmParser.cpp.obj && \ ranlib.exe lib/libLLVMAVRAsmParser.a; done & for n in {1..15000}; do rm -f lib/libLLVMSparcCodeGen.a && \ ar qc lib/libLLVMSparcCodeGen.a lib/Target/Sparc/CMakeFiles/LLVMSparcCodeGen.dir/*.obj && \ ranlib.exe lib/libLLVMSparcCodeGen.a; done echo "done" fg Before the patch it will fail with an error: ranlib.exe: could not create temporary file whilst writing archive: no more archived files. The changes in this patch were proposed by Josh Stone on Rust's Zulip server and I was asked to forward it.
