Re: make install using "-j"

[David Everly]

I'm attaching the output (which failed) when using gnu make -j5 using
install-sh 2006-05-11.20.

I've also opened a bug on mkdir -p against ia64-hp-hpux11.23, and I
want to confirm this bug (I'm not an expert on posix, especially
relating to umask and mkdir).  Here are the three tests, including the
actual results and the expected results (please help me review that my
expected results are correct):

## Test one:

address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ /usr/bin/umask 002
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ /usr/bin/mkdir -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx -p -- foo/bar
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ echo $?
0
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 deverly users 96 Jun 26 15:22 foo

Result should have been:
drwxrwxr-x 3 deverly users 96 Jun 26 15:22 foo

###  Test two:

address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ /usr/bin/umask
022
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ /usr/bin/mkdir -m u=rwx,g=rx,o=rx,u+wx -p
-- foo/bar
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ echo $?
0
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ ls -l
total 0
d-wx-w--w- 3 deverly users 96 Jun 26 15:29 foo

Result should have been:
drwxr-xr-x 3 deverly users 96 Jun 26 15:29 foo

### Test three:

address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ /usr/bin/umask
022
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ /usr/bin/mkdir -m 775,u+wx -p -- foo/bar
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ echo $?
0
address@hidden:~/mkdirtest$ ls -l
total 0
d-wx------ 3 deverly users 96 Jun 26 15:33 foo

Result should have been:
drwxrwxr-x 3 deverly users 96 Jun 26 15:33 foo
