System: NetBSD bishop 1.4F NetBSD 1.4F (BISHOP) #703: Thu Jul 8 15:56:15 PDT 1999 thorpej@bishop:/amd/dracul/u2/netbsd/src/sys/arch/alpha/compile/BISHOP alpha


>Description:
	When building the source tree with a recent (1.4F) kernel,
	it seems as if lookups fail occastionally.

	For example:

	cc -O2  -Werror   -I. -I/amd/dracul/u2/netbsd/...
	...-DIEEE_drem=1 -c alarm__U.c
	ld: cannot open output file alarm__U.o: No such file or directory
	*** Error code

	Looking at my obj.alpha directory:

	bishop:thorpej 23$ ls -l obj.alpha/alarm*
	2 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1912 Jul  8 16:21 obj.alpha/alarm.o
	1 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel    74 Jul  8 16:17 obj.alpha/alarm__U.c@ ->
		/amd/dracul/u2/netbsd/src/gnu/lib/libg2c/../../dist/libf2c/libU77/alarm_.c
	0 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel     0 Jul  8 16:25 obj.alpha/alarm__U.o
	3 -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  2096 Jul  8 16:25 obj.alpha/alarm__U.o.o

>How-To-Repeat:
	I just did a "make build" on my Alphastation 500.

>Fix:
	None provided, and not known.  I'd be happy to provide access
	to the machine for those who want to debug this :-)
