Added "locking disable" to the "make ship" and "make truck" scripts. #177

Closed RTimothyEdwards closed 11 months ago

Added "locking disable" to the "make ship" and "make truck" scripts in the Makefile. This line is critical because the GF I/O pads have so many subcircuits that they tend to overrun the Linux ulimit on open file descriptors, which produces strange and unpredictable results, and ultimately a bad GDS file. The locking disable line is in the platform code for running tapeouts, but users should not hit this issue if they decide to do the full chip build locally.

@RTimothyEdwards Looks like this was integrated with another change. (real time during last week's meeting, I think.)

If you concur, you can close it.
