Where that error is:
make: don't know how to make /usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue//usr/src/sbin/dhclient/client/clparse.o. Stop
*** Error code 2
1 error
*** Error code 2
1 error
Well, that isn't always the error message, but it's always something similar to that.
Now that it takes me only a few minutes to test things, I think I'm making some kind of headway. I redid the making of rescue with '-j2', and got the error
make: don't know how to make /usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue//usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/tar/addext.o. Stop
I then compared the files in the directory /usr/obj/usr/src/.../usr.bin/tar between the attempt which worked, and the attempt which failed. The attempt which worked had a '.depend' file which did not exist in the attempt which failed.
Ie, make trying to build addext.o before the .depend file has shown up for anything in 'tar'. In the attempt which works, that .depend file includes:
addext.o: /usr/src/contrib/tar/lib/addext.c \
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/tar/config.h /usr/include/paths.h \
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h /usr/include/limits.h \
/usr/include/sys/limits.h /usr/include/machine/_limits.h \
/usr/include/sys/syslimits.h /usr/include/sys/types.h \
/usr/include/machine/endian.h /usr/include/sys/_types.h \
/usr/include/machine/_types.h /usr/include/sys/select.h \
/usr/include/sys/_sigset.h /usr/include/sys/_timeval.h \
/usr/include/sys/timespec.h /usr/include/string.h \
/usr/include/strings.h /usr/include/unistd.h /usr/include/sys/unistd.h \ /usr/include/errno.h /usr/src/contrib/tar/lib/backupfile.h \
/usr/src/contrib/tar/lib/dirname.h
So it is easy to image that this .depend file is crucial to successfully making addext.o.
The .depend file is apparently created by /usr/obj/usr/src/rescue/rescue/rescue.mk
and that in turn says it is generated from rescue.conf by crunchgen 0.2. The rescue.mk file includes the rule:
tar_make: (cd $(tar_SRCDIR) && \ $(MAKE) $(BUILDOPTS) $(tar_OPTS) depend &&\ $(MAKE) $(BUILDOPTS) $(tar_OPTS) $(tar_OBJS))
and my guess is that construct is not '-j' safe.
I have no idea how to fix that, or even if I'm on the right track, but perhaps the above will be useful to someone who understands parallel makes more than I do...
