Do you think there could be a chance detecting that a build using make -jX failed by: - comparing created files by a list of expected files - comparing list of symbols contained in .so or .a files with a list of expected symbols?
I expect those values to be constant. So one could create a hash over a symbols names and installed fails and make the builder check that this hash doesn't change when using make -jX. Of course this will not catch bad machine code. Such a file and symbol hash could be added easily to each derivation. I appreciate you telling more about broken builds due to make -jX failing silently causing hours of debugging - because I don't have this experience.
