Description of problem: It appears that there are some dependency problems in the makefiles for perl-Glib. When I build on a really big ia64 system (i.e. more than 48 cpus) it fails in various ways such as: make: *** No rule to make target `blib/lib/Glib/ParseXSDoc.pm', needed by `build/doc.pl'. Stop. make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... if I remove the %{?_smp_mflags} (which gives a -j <numcpus> option to make) from the make line it builds cleanly. It is slightly (but not a lot since this is a small package) slower without this but seems it might be simplest just to remove the smp_mflags from the make line so it builds reliably. - Doug Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Indeed. Committing the change to the devel spec file to drop smp_mflags now. I'm not going to rebuild this immediately, as I'm in the process of bootstrapping perl-5.10.0.
