From e05c636bc85fd06b8f5b2f941ddd7d5b8e3e8b9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Tue, 5 May 2015 07:39:20 -0700 Subject: ref-manual, dev-manual: Added info about make race work-around I updated both the PARALLEL_MAKE and PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables by expanding the note to indicate how to prohibit parallel make threads. Also, added a cross-referencing link to the "Debugging Parallel Make Races" section. I added a short note to the start of the "Debugging Parallel Make Races" section noting that if they can't properly fix the condition, they can always do a work-around to set the PARALLEL_MAKE or PARALLEL_MAKEINST variables to null.
