[erlang-questions] OTP13B03 failed to make parallel on OS X 10.6 in 64-bit: ld: duplicate symbol in libei.a(ei_portio.o) (ei_connect.o)

[Ceriel Jacobs]

Thanks, 
after removing the line from erts/emulator/beam/global.h,
the ./configure runs without breaking.

Though a parallel 'make -j2' does not run without errors.
Q1: Is a parallel build supported or explicitly not? 

Seven times, this "cc1: error: too many filenames given.  Type cc1 --help for usage" occurs. An example:

Let me start over again: 'sudo make clean', './configure ...' and 'make' (now without -j)
The "cc1: error: too many filenames given." errors are still there.
Now the make stops with a 'ld: duplicate symbol' error:

make[2]: *** [opt] Error 2
make[1]: *** [opt] Error 2

Q2: Any suggestions how to pass beyond this barrier?
