Created attachment 131431 [details] build log
Vital information is miraculously missing from your `emerge --info`, viz. the line that tells us what Portage version and compiler version you are using.
Portage 2.1.3.9 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.2.0, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r6 x86_64) =================================================================
Could you see if this happens with gcc-4.1.2. If so, this bug should be made to block bug #162167, the tracker bug for gcc-4.2.
This bug has nothing to do with gcc. I tracked the problem down to the fact that using MAKEOPTS "-j2" causes a make race condition in creating libsyscom.a from common.o and ioconf.o. With MAKOPTS "-j1" it compiles fine. I don't have gcc 4.1.2 installed and I'm not going to install it so you can close/invalidate/whatever this bug if you wish.

It works fine here with -j10, i.e. I cannot reproduce the error. I would like some confirmation before I decide to restrict the ebuild. > close/invalidate/whatever this bug if you wish. Why would I want to do that? :) I will ask someone to reproduce the bug and I will add -j1 if that appears to be the case.
Can't reproduce w/ -j10 (amd64) or -j5 (x86).
Not reproducable with x86 and -j3 and amd64 -j8
Can somebody that cannot reproduce it with -j>=2 post their build log?
Could you check this? nm libsyscom.a | grep ioc_name It should be defined like "000008d0 T ioc_name".
The dependency tree in the Makefile looks fine for parallel make, so I don't see how that could cause any kind of race condition.
freddy sysstat-8.0.0 # nm libsyscom.a | grep ioc_name freddy sysstat-8.0.0 # Here is the problem: ar rv libsyscom.a common.o ar rv libsyscom.a ioconf.o ar: creating libsyscom.a a - ioconf.o ar: creating libsyscom.a a - common.o Two ar's executed at the same time with the same output file. See how common.o was added last? freddy sysstat-8.0.0 # ar t libsyscom.a common.o freddy sysstat-8.0.0 # I have my PORTAGE_TMPDIR set to an NFS mount. On a hunch I set it to a local filesystem. The compile completed OK. Must be something to do with NFS/time lag (client and server use NTP).
Try changing the libsyscom.a line in the makefile to this: libsyscom.a: common.o ioconf.o libsyscom.a(common.o ioconf.o) Perhaps that will wait for the other two targets to complete before the implit archive rule for the latter target begins. ar won't create the archive if the files don't exist, so they are probably in the process of being written when ar starts. The files aren't complete, though.
Good find.

See how > common.o > was added last? I don't think it was NFS. Two ar's reported "creating", and the last one to write won. List the archive after producing the bug, and I bet only common.o is in it. Try splitting the libsyscom.a(common.o ioconf.o) dependency into two of them like: libsyscom.a: libsyscom.a(common.o) libsyscom.a(ioconf.o) Funny that an implicit make rule would not stand up in parallel like this.
Aha! It's broken. The ebuild needs to be -j1, or it has a race condition. Perhaps my split suggestion in comment #14 will fix it. http://www.ambienteto.arti.beniculturali.it/cgi-bin/info2www?(make)Archive+Pitfalls
(In reply to comment #13) > Try changing the libsyscom.a line in the makefile to this: > > libsyscom.a: common.o ioconf.o libsyscom.a(common.o ioconf.o) The problem persists after I make this change to the Makefile.

You're right. Either only common.o or only ioconf.o appears in the archive; never both. > Try splitting the libsyscom.a(common.o ioconf.o) dependency into two of them > like: > > libsyscom.a: libsyscom.a(common.o) libsyscom.a(ioconf.o) After changing the Makefile as above the problem persisted.
OK, sidestep the implcit rule then: libsyscom.a: libsyscom.a(common.o ioconf.o) ar rv libsyscom.a common.o ar rv libsyscom.a ioconf.o libsyssa.a: libsyssa.a(sa_common.o) ar rv libsyssa.a sa_common.o

NFS is notorious for these "time lag" issues, and forcing -j1 is not the solution.
To be completely in the clear about this, I was able to reproduce the problem by setting PORTAGE_TMPDIR to an NFS mount. On the other hand, comment #18 (which I read after I closed the bug) seems to make sense. Patching Makefile.in does the trick.
I added the patch to the tree and mailed it to upstream as well. Please rebuild sysstat-8.0.0.ebuild if you want to test it (on your favourite NFS mount, naturally :). Thanks for your input, everyone.
Upstream will fix this in 8.0.1 and 8.0.0 is fixed through the ebuild. Thanks everyone!
Er, this is not fixed for me (even with the patch) since I just got the same failure using my standard distcc and -jN setup (I have 2 dual-CPU Intel boxes I use to share the build chores). This happens with the patched version of sysstat-8.0.0.

It just emerged successfully with -distcc and -j2 so it doesn't look like it needs to be forced to -j1, however, it also seems like it still doesn't like distcc much either (at least with multi-cpu boxes). And NFS is out of the equation here since I don't use it for anything portage-related except to provide a common share for distfiles.

I think this is thoroughly fixed now.
I think this bug is not resolved yet. I happened to me now with stabel version 8.0.4-r1 and I am using reiserfs, no nfs mounts. I am using -j2 on a Pentium4 HT. I merged it again with exactly the same options and it worked.
