My theory is that the depfile is mmap()ed by fixdep and modified by the preprocesor run at the same time. I could not reproduce this so far (still trying). But if it's really this race, the fix would be to disable dependency generation in the preprocessor by passing -Wp,MD,/dev/null or somesuch. But we never had this problem with genksyms, which is weird. It could as well be that my build machine's memory is faulty :(. Michal
