Comment # 100
on bug 67051
from Alex
This is strange. The compile (make) fails.
I've compiled a few kernels in my life. Never happened before:
Twice.
First:
....

Second time:

Note: (FWIW) typical successful completion time: about 5m 28s
------
1. I re-tried the compile of yesterday (with mthd-1). Perfect again.
I then retraced the very same steps, except with the new mthd-2.
As shown above, still bad.
Comments (I'm still in shock):
2. Is it possible that you really meant debug-_1_ (Comment 98)?
(I've gone with debug-3 exclusively so far, assuming that was a typo)
3. To troubleshoot (if need be) I can do just 'make' (as opposed to make -j4)
Slower but more explicit.
4. For clarity/completeness, this is what I always do:
cd /
rm -fr linux-3.10.1
time tar xJf /usr/local/downloads/linux-3.10.1.tar.xz ; echo $?
cd linux-3.10.1
make mrproper ; echo $?
cp -p /boot/config/config-3.10.1-3-P5E-74G .config
make menuconfig
make oldconfig ; echo $?
*** Apply the indicated patches ***
time make -j4 ; echo $?
*** If the 4th patch is mthd-2: twice (consistently) fail.
*** If the 4th patch is mthd-1: always OK
Any ideas, suggestions?
