Got the same error with buildmakejobs > 1, compiled ok with buildmakejobs = 1

Please remember to fill in the Port field and cc the maintainers, and note that you do not need to be in cc when you are the reporter.

What version of Xcode are you using? The upgrade went fine for me with 4 build jobs, and parallel build doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would cause a segfault in ld.

[mooreja557@…]

I'm currently running Xcode 3.2.1 (1613).

Upgraded to 3.2.2 still have the same error.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Do you have the binutils port installed? If so, deactivate or uninstall it first.

[0xced (Cédric Luthi)]

Same problem here. I manually did

cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_archivers_zlib/work/zlib-1.2.5"
sudo make all

Notice: make all, without the -j2 option. Then I ran sudo port -v install zlib to finish the installation.

I tested building zlib with buildmakejobs=2 several times. Usually it succeeded, but sometimes it didn't. I did not see the specific error reported above, but I did see these failures which look similar:

I disabled the parallel build in r66834 and reported the problem to the developers of zlib.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Upstream provided a patch which I applied in r66848.
