--- Comment #1 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> ---
So - to be clear - the problem exists with the 2.34 sources with extra patches
applied by yourselves, but not with the 2.37 sources (or later).  Is that right
?

When you talk about compiling "concurrently" does this mean that some of the
shared objects might not have been fully linked by the time that libcwall.so is
linked ?  Ie, could the reason for the change in behaviour be down to the fact
that the applied patches have slowed down the linker so that some of the
processes in your concurrent build are taking longer than before ?

I am not really sure what you expect us to do here.  If you can reproduce the
problem using the current 2.38 release sources, or the current mainline
development sources, then we might be willing to investigate.  But the 2.34
sources, with a set of extra patches applied ?  Sorry but that is just outside
of the scope of support that we try to provide.

If you are able to reproduce the problem using the latest sources, please could
you upload a testcase to this PR, so that we can take this issue further.
