[DSE-Dev] Bug#677689: selinux-policy-default: race condition in build process when using -j8 or above

[Russell Coker]

Package: selinux-policy-default
Version: 2:2.20110726-5
Severity: minor

There appears to be a race condition when building selinux-policy-default.
When I build it on an 8-core system with -j8 or -j10 it almost always fails
to build.

It typically gives errors such as the following on tmp/rolemap.conf:

y_te_rules.conf tmp/all_post.conf > base.conf
Compiling mls base module
/usr/bin/checkmodule -M -U deny base.conf -o tmp/base.mod
/usr/bin/checkmodule:  loading policy configuration from base.conf
tmp/rolemap.conf":621:ERROR 'syntax error' at token 'netifcon' on line 1201013:
