From 9cf1f97cef04fed81c2407f7207795d7592ccb96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joachim Nilsson Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 18:19:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix nasty parallel build problem reported by Gentoo and Westermo Independently of each other both the Gentoo project and Westermo found an issue with massively parallel builds on monster-core-machines. At Westermo there are 40 core Xeon monsters that stumble when building sysklogd. The Gentoo bug report is here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/701894 The problem stems from strlcat.c and strlcpy.c being used for both the libcompat convenience library built for libsyslog and als for syslogd when the system does not have either of the APIs in libc, i.e. most Linux systems with GLIBC or musl libc. I can either rewrite the Makefile.am files to handle dependencies better, or we just disable parallel build like this patch. There's too few source files to gain anything from parallel build anyway.
