Hi.
I've just noticed that bug #68860 (patched) may be a duplicate of
#26471. Different descriptions and error messages, but looks like the
same cause.

Or maybe I j= ust missed something - I=E2=80=99m far from an automake guru. =3D) Seems like a bug. In order to properly fix this in Automake, we need to have a test that allow us to reproduce the issue. Ideally you would provide this test yourself by taking inspiration from: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/t/libtool2.sh?h=3Dmic= ro If you are not comfortable with doing that, a tarball or a link to a repository containing a minimal automake project that allow us to reproduce the bug manually is good enough.

Hi folks,
I recently ran into what appears to be a bug in automake and I thought =
it would be a good idea to let you know.
We had noticed that running =E2=80=9Cmake recheck -j8=E2=80=9D if some =
source files were dirty would cause random build failures. The symptom =
was that the same file was getting built more than once by different =
make processes, which led to the resulting objects being corrupted. =
We=E2=80=99d see messages like this:
libtool: error: =E2=80=98foo.lo=E2=80=99 is not a valid libtool =
object
I dug into this a little and the root cause of the problem seems to be =
that unlike the other top-level targets generated by automake (check, =
install, etc.), recheck depends on =E2=80=9Call=E2=80=9D instead of =
=E2=80=9Call-am=E2=80=9D. =E2=80=9Call=E2=80=9D doesn=E2=80=99t declare =
very many dependencies - it just launches a new copy of make that builds =
=E2=80=9Call-am=E2=80=9D. Because recheck also depends on other targets =
(e.g. everything in check_PROGRAMS) which might depend on some of the =
same things as =E2=80=9Call-am=E2=80=9D, in a parallel build the =
original make process and the make process spawned by =E2=80=9Call=E2=80=9D=
can end up attempting to build the same targets.
I fixed this for our project by copying the generated recheck rule into =
our Makefile.am and replacing =E2=80=9Call=E2=80=9D with =E2=80=9Call-am=E2=
=80=9D. After doing this, I could no longer reproduce the problem with =
=E2=80=9Cmake recheck -j8=E2=80=9D.
It seems like that change should be made in automake itself. Or maybe I =
just missed something - I=E2=80=99m far from an automake guru. =3D)
Thanks,
- Seth=
