Description Priit Laes 2009-10-28 15:03:24 UTC 
I'm seeing following errors when trying to build qemu:

  LINK  cris-linux-user/qemu-cris
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:

Comment 1 Ian Lance Taylor 2009-10-29 04:20:00 UTC 
It would be very helpful if you could pull together a self-contained test case.
 Thanks.
Comment 2 Priit Laes 2009-11-04 15:40:57 UTC 
This seems to be actually parallel-build issue - I cannot reproduce it during `make -j1` build.
Comment 3 Ian Lance Taylor 2009-11-07 02:29:15 UTC 
Closing as unrepeatable.  Let me know if you find a test case.
Comment 4 Priit Laes 2009-11-07 04:16:53 UTC 
Well, I didn't say it isn't unrepeatable: `make -jN` when N > 1, this issue is reproducable...
Comment 5 Ian Lance Taylor 2009-11-07 05:00:47 UTC 
The linker is not affected passing -j2 to make, so I don't see how it could be a
linker problem.  If it is a linker problem, I will need to see a test case which
I can repeat--a command line and a set of input files.
