Re: buildbot failure in XEmacs on x86 gentoo cfg1

Mats Lidell writes: Sad to say, yes, that certainly could be a problem, even if each build is run in its own directory. The C code is safe, I think, because all objects and the link are done in the subdirectory. But build/lisp is a symlink to src/lisp. This would mean that mule builds could share .elcs with non-mule builds, which would be a Very Bad Thing, of course. There might be other, more subtle, conflicts, too. Instead of just symlinking build/lisp, we could build a link farm of files, which probably would be OK. But we're not there yet. I've been thinking about doing that anyway. For now, I think that's a good enough explanation of the apparently nondeterministic anomolies in testing. Thanks, Mats!
