Kernel build fails "cannot move ‘arch/arm/boot/compressed/.piggy.gzip.o.tmp" then succeeds

Hi!

Ok, I guess it is second time I see it.

This time it is while cross-compiling 4.0 kernel on 4.4-rc5. Failure is:

AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip.o
AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip.o
mv: cannot move ‘arch/arm/boot/compressed/.piggy.gzip.o.tmp’ to ‘arch/arm/boot/compressed/.piggy.gzip.o.cmd’: No such file or directory scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target 'arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip.o' failed
make[2]: *** [arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.gzip.o] Error 1
arch/arm/boot/Makefile:52: recipe for target 'arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux' failed
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux] Error 2
arch/arm/Makefile:308: recipe for target 'zImage' failed
make: *** [zImage] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

I'm building it like this...

eval eldk-switch.sh -r 5.4 armv7a
ARCH=arm long make -j 3 zImage uImage LOADADDR=0x8000 && \

It builds ok after re-run. Is building zImage and uImage at the same time bad idea?

Any other ideas?

I guess you are missing 3939f3345050 ("ARM: 8418/1: add boot image dependencies to not generate invalid images"). Without this fix and with 'make uImage zImage', two make instances try to produce a zImage at the same time.

Since it is known, I have just updated my scripts not to trigger it in 4.0 kernel. I'll try to get this project to move to newer kerenl, but it needs realtime extensions so I'm not sure if/when we can do that.

Thanks!
