http://pastebin.com/5ufHeSgi has full logs but the gist of it is:

/bin/bash: /home/ionut/work/poky_1.8/poky/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/glibc/2.21-r0/build-i586-poky-linux/elf/runtime-linker.T: No such file or directory
Makefile:361: recipe for target '/home/ionut/work/poky_1.8/poky/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/glibc/2.21-r0/build-i586-poky-linux/elf/runtime-linker.st' failed
make[2]: *** [/home/ionut/work/poky_1.8/poky/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/glibc/2.21-r0/build-i586-poky-linux/elf/runtime-linker.st] Error 1

I'm guessing this is a parallel make race.

Looks like a race. Have you seen it again and what are some other build information you can share ? like how much parallelism ? your build config  ?
host OS etc.
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2015-06-04 14:05:25 UTC 
Debian stable host, 20-core Xeon with automatic parallelism (so 20 tasks, -j20).
Comment 3 Mariano Lopez 2015-11-10 15:24:19 UTC 
I wasn't able to reproduce this race with glibc 2.22. It seems is very rare to bump into this bug. I'm closing it as workforsome and if we see the bug again we can re-open it.

Verified per above comment.
