Since a little while my openbsd clobber builds randomly fail with missing nsISupports.h headers in the path, so that might be a dependency problem ? Usually removing the objdir fixes it but that's not a proper fix. Dunno what's supposed to generate nsISupports.h ?

This is happening regardless of arch & compiler used.
http://buildbot.rhaalovely.net/builders/mozilla-central-amd64/builds/874 is an occurence from some days ago.. i think it was one of the first hit.
http://buildbot.rhaalovely.net/builders/mozilla-central-sparc64/builds/554 is another from yesterday.

It also affects c-c, see http://buildbot.rhaalovely.net/builders/comm-central-amd64/builds/855

Sometimes, it's on a missing nsIAtom.h:

(from http://buildbot.rhaalovely.net/builders/comm-central-i386/builds/407)
http://buildbot.rhaalovely.net/builders/mozilla-central-amd64/builds/880 is also an occurence of a missing nsIAtom.h
Summary: Random build failure with missing nsISupports.h header → Random build failure with missing nsISupports.h or nsIAtom.h header
More failures... removed the objdirs this time. The usual process is hg pull -u, gmake -f client.mk, gmake package, gmake clean. In case nsI* are sometimes not generated (missing dep ?)

Sadly, this also affects aurora:

ccing some hopefully helpful folks for hints on the possible cause of this :)
Maybe Ehsan has a better idea of what might have regressed it.  It sounds like something the recent flurry of work on #include elimination could have broken.
Flags: needinfo?(ehsan)
Sounds more like the exporting work

Yeah this is almost definitely a race condition in the build system.

Note that could not have possibly happened, since this bug seems to be about the files not being there on the filesystem, it seems.

Yeah, when the failure shows up, the offending file is not in the objdir at all, ie not generated.
You are seeing this on current mozilla-central? I could understand nsISupports.h being out of date in dist/includes, but for it to not be present at all is, uh, very surprising.

What do you see in objdir/config/makefiles/xpidl?

My other builders are failing hard atm because of #919111 but for aurora from yesterday:

I believe there was a bug in the build rules impacting Windows. But that shouldn't have impacted any platform with symlinks.

Are you doing any kind of manual clobber, such as deleting bits of dist/include? We don't have explicit rules to install XPIDL-deleted dist/include/.h files if they are deleted (we assume the build system behaves a certain way, which it should as long as you are building through client.mk). 

Do you have bug 908977 / ba4acc701c7e in your tree? That should have fixed lingering build dependency issues.

The buildslave does this every 24h (you can see the steps on http://buildbot.rhaalovely.net/builders/mozilla-aurora-amd64/builds/873):
- hg qpop -a (in case i have patches to fix build issues in my queue)
- hg pull -u
- hg qpush -a
- gmake -f client.mk configure
- gmake -f client.mk
- gmake -C objdir package
- gmake -f client.mk clean

Of course, all the steps are done only if the previous succeeds. That means the clean step is done only if everything went fine, so that i can have a look at the objdir. In all the previous occurences of that bug, manually rm -Rf'ing the objdir 'fixed' the issue for a day or two, then it usually happens again. SO no, i dont manually purge the objdir, it's an all or nothing thing.

The random failures started happening something like 15 days ago, and now happens on aurora & central, so yes i have that changeset.
|make clean| will blow out dist/. However, it won't delete the .xpt files from config/makefiles/xpidl. As a result, the build system thinks the .h in dist/include are up to date and doesn't reinstall them. We should delete the .xpt files during |make clean|.
Summary: Random build failure with missing nsISupports.h or nsIAtom.h header → make clean doesn't remove xpidl files

so you mean i should rather replace my last step by make clobber ?
what recently changed in that area that could trigger that new failure ?

I think |make clobber| is busted. Use |mach clobber| or rm -rf the objdir.

We should fix |make clean|. This is fallout from bug 850380.

Another interesting different one:

I'll remove all objdirs and switch to mach clobber on my builders until the issue is fixed.
This bug still affects my c-c builder where i cant really use mach clobber...

Even doing gmake -f client.mk clean + rm -Rf objdir/dist* after a successful build, the next one fails.

I hate having to redefine the targets like this, but it's the simplest
patch. At some point we should merge the two xpidl Makefile.in together.
