[Talking to myself again...]
Well, it is a curious state of affairs. When I looked further, I found
both the type of corruption I described earlier, and this cpp vomit type.
I found that, on my system, ${WORLDTMP}/usr/libexec/cpp was missing
because it failed to build because of the OTHER type of .depend
corruption :-) and that in this case cc calls ${WORLDTMP}/usr/bin/cpp.
This version of cpp doesn't work very well in this case. Without make -j
it reads standard input before messing up .depend. With make -j it seems
to just go ahead and mess up .depend right away.
Now, some of this looks to be deliberate since COMPILER_PATH is set
to ${WORLDTMP}/usr/libexec:${WORLDTMP}/usr/bin, and not just
to ${WORLDTMP}/usr/libexec. Can't see the point of the usr/bin bit.
Is this an error?
Is anybody else missing their ${WORLDTMP}/usr/libexec/cpp?
Should we delete /usr/bin/cpp? Or change COMPILER_PATH?
Stephen.
