From 69cb6ca52da095d300cf42666c903ae787a762dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bobby Eshleman Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 19:56:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] tools/net/ynl: suppress jobserver warning in ynltool version detection When building ynltool with parallel make (-jN), a warning is emitted: make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1. Add '+' to parent make rule. The warning trips up local runs of NIPA's ingest_mdir.py, which correctly fails on make warnings. This occurs because SRC_VERSION uses $(shell make ...) to make kernelversion. The $(shell) function inherits make's MAKEFLAGS env var which specifies "--jobserver-auth=R,W" pointing to file descriptors that the invoked make sub-shell does not have access to. Observed with: $ make --version | head -1 GNU Make 4.3 Instead of suppressing MAKEFLAGS and foregoing all future MAKEFLAGS (some of which may be desirable, such as variable overrides) or introducing a new make target, we instead just ignore the warning by piping stderr to /dev/null. If 'make kernelversion' fails, the ' || echo "unknown"' phrase will catch the failure.
