I am seeing a strange failure on the new box Sun donated, when trying to
build 7.4 for the buildfarm. This is what I get:
gmake[3]: Entering directory

What is odd is that the identical file seems to succeeed on the later
8.0 and 8.1 branches.
I also don't understand the logic of what's in the file:
ldstub [%o0],%o0
!!
!! if it was already set when we set it, somebody else already
!! owned the lock -- return 1.
!!
cmp %o0,0
bne .LL2
mov 1,%o0
!!
!! otherwise, it was clear and we now own the lock -- return 0.
!!
mov 0,%o0
.LL2:
!!
!! this is a leaf procedure - no need to restore windows and
!! diddle the CWP.
!!
retl
Why do we have "mov 1,%o0" immediately followed by "mov 0,%o0"? As far
as I can understand this code it doesn't seem to do what the comments
say it does.
I'm not sure I care that much about 7.4 on this new machine, but it did
seem to me like it might indicate a deeper problem.
