Ah, I was hoping it was as simple as that! Parallelism with Make can spit out |
| 11 |
the most opaque and peculiar problems; they really should have a small note |
| 12 |
appended to emerge's failure message regarding this, as it causes so many odd |
| 13 |
issues. |

As for disabling APIC, I'm not certain whether it will serve as a more permanent |
| 16 |
solution for this particular issue or not. It's worth a try, I suppose, although |
| 17 |
I am gravely doubtful. Which motherboard and CPU do you have? AMD licenced |
| 18 |
Intel's APIC for their Athlon series and onwards, the debut of which was over an |
| 19 |
entire decade after your 2007 processor. |

Despite what seems to be the modern consensus, electronic components should not |
| 24 |
break beyond repair for no reason. I have an original 1974 rotary telephone sat |
| 25 |
next to me and it still works perfectly (until British Telecom turns off support |
| 26 |
for pulse dialling in 2025, the bastards); albeit, it is slightly more straight- |
| 27 |
forward than a processor. ;-) |

Anyway, try disabling APCI, re-enable Make parallelism, and get back to us. I |
| 30 |
doubt it will do much with regards to compilation, although you never know with |
| 31 |
"-j N". LOL. |
