PATCH 1/1 package/nut: workaround parallel build issue

The conditions are not trivial to reproduce, but it can happen that the headers are not fully regenerated by the time they are included.

Since they already are present and current in the archive, just patch out their generation from the Makefile.

Fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] tools: do not regenerate headers
+
+This is definitely not parallel-safe, and as the commetns explain,
+fixing is not trivial. Since the headers are alreasy correct in the
+archive, we just do not regenerate them.

Thanks, but doesn't it make more sense to just use MAKE1 instead of such a non-upstreamable patch?

Nut is not a very big package and has no reverse dependencies, so the impact of MAKE1 is quite small.

Nut is not a very big package and has no reverse dependencies, so the impact of MAKE1 is quite small.

I timed a nut build, and indeed the build time for a non-parallel build is split as such (on an otherwise-unloaded machine):

    14:18:03 >>> nut 2.7.4 Extracting
    14:18:03 >>> nut 2.7.4 Patching
    14:18:03 >>> nut 2.7.4 Updating config.sub and config.guess
    14:18:03 >>> nut 2.7.4 Configuring
    14:18:03 >>> nut 2.7.4 Autoreconfiguring
    14:18:10 >>> nut 2.7.4 Patching libtool
    14:18:15 >>> nut 2.7.4 Building
    14:18:37 >>> nut 2.7.4 Installing to target

So it is about 34s, of which 22s to build, while a parallel build would take just about 8s to build.

I'll send a patch to use MAKE1.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
