[PATCH] gcc-4.8: Parallel build failure due to missing header insn-opinit.h

[Nic Hannekum <hanno at binaryboy dot net>]

It appears the generated header file, insn-opinit.h is new as of gcc 4.8.
To support parallel builds, gcc/Makefile.in defines a variable containing prerequisite files which guarantees they are built early.
On inspection of gcc/Makefile.in it is obvious that its absence from the 'generated_files' variable is an oversight - the patch simply adds it.

Quoting from gcc/Makefile.in: "
	# Language-independent object files.
	# We put the insn-*.o files first so that a parallel make will build
	# them sooner, because they are large and otherwise tend to be the
	# last objects to finish building.
"
Observations:

	* without patch *
	A parallel build on my 4-core i5 @ 2.5GHz will always fail.
	A parallel build on my 2-core Core Duo @ 1.87GHz will always succeed.
	A non-parallel build (make -j 1) will always succeed on either of the above machines.

	* with patch *
	Both non- and parallel builds always succeed.

Tested on the following gcc versions:
gcc-4.8.0
gcc-4.8.1
gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.04
gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.05
gcc-linaro-4.8-2013.06-1
