Follow-up Comment #1, bug #40610 (project make):
Odd. I'm not aware of anything off the top of my head that changed between
3.82 and 4.0 that might cause this. Also, I can't reproduce it on the Linux
tmpfs implementation I have here.
I'll need some help debugging. When it loops forever, what commands does it
run? Does it re-run the rebuild of objdir/depend.mk every time? I assume so.
Does it re-run the mkdir -p objdir every time?
Also if you rewrite the makefile so that the mkdir is in the same rule as the
echo, does it work properly? I'm not saying this is a solution, I'm just
trying to work out what's going on.
objdir/depend.mk:
rm -f objdir/depend.mk
mkdir -p objdir
echo 'foo: bar' > objdir/depend.mk
Does it reproduce if you enable debugging mode (-d)? If it's really
timing-sensitive that might be enough to avoid the problem. If so, try using
"--debug=m" to restrict the debugging output. If it still won't reproduce
we'll maybe need to add some targeted debugging statements.
