Bug 885474

This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

still an issue with Fedora 18 (make 3.82-14)

I'm seeing this also while building Openwrt from trunk.

You're trying to compile in an NFS mounted directory, right? The problem is that it can't use flock on its lock files. You can see this by using strace, that's how I discovered it. I had to move the openwrt tree to a local filesystem to be able to compile.

Sorry, should have double-checked before posting...  My issue was slightly different.

Got this reproduced locally on a Fedora 15 box and RHEL 7 alpha box, in both cases also with upstream make.  Doesn't seem to be Fedora-specific per se (though could of course be a patch that Red Hat carries in runtime or kernel across all these versions).  Reproduces fine on a local filesystem.

This depends on what the "internal" make (the one launched from Makefile) is.  Normally this would be $(MAKE) to use whatever "outer" make is used, but then it doesn't reproduce.  Make 3.81 is not impacted, 3.82 and current master are.

This is not right:

This certainly affects F19's make (3.82-18).  This was fixed upstream in make 4.0.
