Same. As soon as -j gets any number above 1, the build fails, reliably.
On aarch64-linux as well as x86_64-linux. Revision 61279 did not change
this.

The contextgarden buildbot, otherwise neat for a survey of good/bad
platforms, is of little use at the moment, since they don't
--enable-hitex (yet).

I'm wondering what was different for these where the build went fine?
Parallelism? Filesystem quirks? (I have my tree on NFS)


Best,
