Summary: "make -j" doesn't produce a working binary
Product: Exim
Version: 4.82
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: low
Component: Release process
AssignedTo: nigel@???
ReportedBy: hs+exim@???
CC: exim-dev@???
'make -j' (maximum parallelization) does not produce a reliable result.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it breaks.
The output of make indicates, that some targets are built twice in
parallel. This happens because of the "multi target rules" in the base
Makefile. (it's entering the routers, transports, ... directories twice,
producing a race condition on building the .a files)
The attached patch fixes the problem.
(To reproduce the problem run "make -j" in an endless loop, depending on your
ressources it will brake somewhen. With my patch it just burns your CPU...)
