Output from "make > dwarf_error.txt 2>&1" after a failing build

Since Wednesday or Thursday last week, builds have failed on Cygwin with error
messages like the following:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: Dwarf
Error: found dwarf version '8242', this reader only handles version 2
information.

for llvm::XCoreTargetMachine]+0x4c): undefined reference to
`llvm::LLVMTargetMachine::addPassesToEmitMachineCode(llvm::PassManagerBase&,
llvm::MachineCodeEmitter&, llvm::CodeGenOpt::Level)'

I'm attaching the make output from building again after a failure.

I am currently running revision 70826, but have had autobuild running since
around 15:00 UTC on April 30. No builds have succeeded. The last revision that
I know did not have this problem was 70374. Current svn info output:

Your gcc is broken then - it generates invalid debug information. This is not
an LLVM bug. Try release version instead, maybe it will work.

[Quuxplusone]

Building for debug on a supported platform with the currently shipping version
on the complier should work, or it should be listed as a known issue in the
release notes.

Anyway, the problem may not be the dwarf version, but undefined references. In
the clean build output (see attachment 2941), the dwarf version warnings are
preceeded by the following:

Note that you're using beta snapshot-based compiler which can be pretty buggy
(this already happened with cygwin in the past) especially for gcc secondary
priority platform. I verified that mingw debug build is ok, that's why I assume
that nothing is broken in LLVM codebase itself.

There were already problems with linkers for COFF targets which prevented LLVM
build someday (see note in "Broken compilers and tools" section).

I added an entry here: http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-
Mon-20090504/077100.html

[Quuxplusone]

It appears not to be related to debug or to the compiler version. I've build
for retail (using --enable-optimized when configuring) and build with GCC 4 and
GCC 3.4.4, and I get link errors in both. The warnings about the dwarf version
go away though, so it seems that was a red herring.

Revision 70771 builds fine, so the problem should have been introduced later than that (but no later than 70826).

[Quuxplusone]

Re-tested with a pristine 70826, and it worked. There must have been some junk in my working directory that didn't go away after "make clean" but still managed to ruin my builds.
