Possible, if the doc build and library builds go on in parallel.
For the interested, here is what is going on at the failure:
The autogen.texi file is being rebuilt. Among the various things
being put into the doc is an example of a purely generated program
that builds a command line option parser for a shell script. In
order to function, it must generate, compile, link and execute
this program. The instructions to do that are in shell script
embedded in the documentation template, "doc/auto_gen.tpl".
If this can be repeated again, I would try to diagnose the problem
by saving (instead of discarding) all the output from the compile:
@example
[= `
opts="-o genshellopt -DTEST_GETDEFS_OPTS -g -I${OPTDIR}"
( cat ${top_srcdir}/getdefs/opts.def
echo "test_main = 'putShellParse';"
) | (
cd ${tempdir}
HOME='' ${AGEXE} -t40 -L${OPTDIR} -bgenshellopt -- -
${CC} ${opts} genshellopt.c ${libs}
) > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ ! -x ${tempdir}/genshellopt ]
then
echo "NO GENSHELLOPT PROGRAM" >&2
kill -TERM $AG_pid
exit 1
fi
${tempdir}/genshellopt --help | \
sed 's,\t, ,g;s,\\([@{}]\\),@\\1,g'
echo
echo
${tempdir}/genshellopt -o ${tempdir}/genshellopt.sh || kill -HUP $AG_pid
sed 's,\t, ,g;s,\\([@{}]\\),@\\1,g' ${tempdir}/genshellopt.sh
` =]
@end example
