I tried --jobs=1; but it fails.
It is bad enough that this failure occurs; what is worse is you
MUST REBOOT the machine in order to correct it. I have my own
couple of 100k lines of code to manage so I haven't looked at cygwin.
What is it doing at the system level to corrupt the environment. I
do not notice any other windows program having problems but restarting
cygwin does not clear the problem....stuck dll? something is still
consuming resources. I have not spent much time trying to diagnose the
problem because I need to get my work done so rebooting is faster.
Can someone explain the past "make/fork" problem that was supposedly fixed?
