the fixdep error indicates that it was invoked after building object plugin_kmem-in.o, but it could not find its dep file (.plugin_kmem-in.o.d) which is built within the object build.. so seems like race with clean or other build of the same object
however ;-)
The 'Makefile' processing itself isn't paralel and will exec clean and install targets serialized:
--- [root@intel-wildcatpass-07 perf]# make clean install make -f Makefile.perf --no-print-directory -j88 O= clean CLEAN libtraceevent CLEAN libapi CLEAN libbpf CLEAN config CLEAN core-objs CLEAN core-progs CLEAN core-gen SUBDIR Documentation CLEAN Documentation CLEAN python BUILD: Doing 'make -j88' parallel build make -f Makefile.perf --no-print-directory -j88 O= install
Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ on ] ... glibc: [ on ] ---
I can't make that failure on 88 cpus server, I assume you can reproduce this fairly easily?
Could you please share failing build output from: $ make V=1 clean install
thanks, jirka
