Bug 343263 – dev-libs/poco exhibits random linker failures with parallel builds

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description M. B. 2010-10-29 15:30:15 UTC]

When compiling dev-libs/poco with MAKEOPTS>=2, the build usually fails with a .so file not found by ld. This happens about 2 out of 3 attempts to build when the machine is under heavy I/O load, about 1 out of 3 attempts when there's nothing heavy running besides.
I also couldn't repoduce it with the test USE-flag enabled.

I know this is a very vague report, but i couldn't really find anything except using MAKEOPTS=1 emerge -1 -j1 poco to make it build. I had no other similar issues on this machine so far. Using MAKEOPTS=1 makes it build reliably (12 times in a row).
My suggestion would be to make the ebuild filter for MAKEOPTS=1.

Portage 2.2.0_alpha2 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.4, glibc-2.11.2-r0, 2.6.34-gentoo-r12 x86_64)

Reopen once you have attached the build.log from the failure
