Subj: 	failed bl12 kernel build, makedeptmp corrupted

Hi,

My name is Santa Wiryaman, from the High Performance Computing Group.
I am working with Phil Cameron to get the goldos.bl12 tree to build locally
on our system.  I managed to copy the bl12 tree from

    /share/cache/build/goldos.dsk9/[email protected]

and in the process of building the kernel.  The build process failed in the
BINARY directory, failing to find the file ../include-machine/cpu.h.
In closer examination and doing the build several times, I narrowed down the
problem to be a corrupted makedeptmp file.  Somehow some of the '/' was written
as '-'.  I don't know how or who did this.  I did cc -M on the offending file,
and the dependency list that got generated was fine.

Here is an example of the currently running build:

% cd /odesb06/wiryaman/sb/goldbl12/obj/alpha/kernel/BINARY
% grep - makedeptmp
ufs_subr.o:     ..-include/kern/macro_help.h
ipc_host.o:     ../include-dirent.h
raw_ip.o:       ..-include/sys/time.h
pmap_rmt.o:     ../include-kern/queue.h

As you see, some of the '/' got replaced with '-', i.e., include-kern instead
of include/kern.

Have you encounter a similar problem?  I ran the build command under Sterling.

Thanks in advance,
-santa

When did you copy the bl12 tree? It was being updated during most of today from
bl12 pass1 to pass2. If you haven't already, I'd suggest resupping the tree
and retry with a clean sandbox.

This is a very strange symptom you describe, especially if it's
repeatable.  I agree with Grant that you probably need to start
over with supping or copying the backing tree, though it's hard
to imagine what could have gone wrong to produce this error.

The makedeptmp file is merely recoding the output from cc -M;
the most likely point of failure is in awk or the dependency
generator.  You did pull over the tools directory, right?
