Like https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=36420777&tree=Mozilla-Central. I'd find it to be a build improvement, just like it said on the tin, except people keep retriggering them until they turn green, instead of accepting the blessing of a quick red. "Maybe we can force build.sh to use -j <10."
this is definitely make crashing, as opposed to bash or nice: Mar 20 03:54:56 bld-linux64-spot-332 kernel: make[12579]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000416f61 sp 00007fff78be61c0 error 4 in make[400000+28000] Mar 20 03:54:56 bld-linux64-spot-332 abrt[24810]: Can't read /proc/12579/exe link
we've got make-3.81-19.el6.x86_64 installed
Hidden on m-i, m-c and b-i, since they couldn't see the visiblity requirement of <5% failure if they climbed a ladder.
And hidden on mozilla-aurora, but it seems I'm back on the &onlyunstarred=1 so rest assured I'll keep you updated on how frequently they fail.
build.sh doesn't actually set -j anything. It looks like .config has: MAKE_FLAGS=-j10 And config.sh has this in it: echo MAKE_FLAGS=-j$((CORE_COUNT + 2)) > .tmp-config So the simplest way of overriding this would be to do: echo "MAKE_FLAGS=-j4" >> .config after running config.sh and before running build.sh Otherwise we could add an option to config.sh that allows the default -j setting to be set when config.sh is run.
no idea if this will help or not, but worth a shot

That seems to have taken care of the "half the time" problem: now they fail to build 100% of the time.
huzzah let's try -j1 then

Okay, almost sort of builds fairly often now, except that it hits bug 934890 an awful lot of the time,
Still hidden, still a constant source of failure, but not from this :)

FTR backed out this change since it seems to be working well in staging without the workaround.
Should be a fun bit of statistical analysis, figuring out whether the (still continuing) 14400 second timeouts have decreased enough to make the rate of these worth tolerating.

Something here went live today
make 3.82 seems to work...in staging
Chris, what are next steps here? :-)

KK builds hidden on all trees for too many failures; will unhide in bug 1017545, once bug 1017166 fixes the failures here.
