BTW, there's another problem here: "make -j2" on my Mac blows up with
this on stderr:
ld: file not found: ../../../../../../src/backend/postgres
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [ascii_and_mic.so] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-ascii_and_mic-recursive] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all-backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs-recursive] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
In file included from gram.y:12101:
scan.c: In function 'yy_try_NUL_trans':
scan.c:16242: warning: unused variable 'yyg'
make: *** [all-src-recursive] Error 2
Consulting stdout shows that indeed it's launched this series of jobs:
make -C backend/utils/mb/conversion_procs all
make -C ascii_and_mic all
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing
-fwrapv-g -I../../../../../../src/include -c -o ascii_and_mic.o ascii_and_mic.c
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing
-fwrapv-g -bundle -multiply_defined suppress -o ascii_and_mic.so ascii_and_mic.o -L../../../../../../src/port -Wl,-d\
ead_strip_dylibs -bundle_loader ../../../../../../src/backend/postgres
immediately after completing the src/timezone build, before the backend
build is even well begun let alone finished. So the parallel build
dependency interlocks are basically not working. This machine has gmake
3.81.
