+Subject: [PATCH] lib: Fix parallel library build ordering
+
+When building with --enable-elf-shlibs, Makefile.elf-lib adds `all:: image`
+to build the shared library image.
+The static library stub also adds `all:: subdirs $(LIBRARY).a`.
+
+The archive and ELF image are consumed through the top-level lib directory
+by other subdirectories, so a library subdirectory must not return from
+"make all" before both outputs have been created.
+
+If libcom_err.so has not been created yet, libext2fs.so can fall back to
+libcom_err.a. On x86-64 that can fail because lib/et/error_message.o contains
+a thread-local object and the non-PIC static object has R_X86_64_TPOFF32
+relocations that cannot be used when linking a shared object.
+
+Make the static archive target depend on the ELF image when Makefile.elf-lib
+is included, so the normal library build creates the shared object and
+top-level `.so` symlinks before returning to the parent recursive make.
+
+lib/ss has an additional ordering issue: its first local all:: rule only names
+mk_cmds, while libss.a and ss.pc are added later. Put libss.a and ss.pc on
+that first all:: target rule as well so lib/ss cannot complete after generating
+only mk_cmds and leave debugfs without lib/ss/ss_err.h. Also make ss_err.h
+depend on ss_err.c so parallel consumers do not run compile_et twice for the
+same generated pair.
+
+Finally, create the lib/ss install directories in the install recipe before
+copying headers and data files. The ELF shared-library fragment also contributes
+install and installdirs double-colon rules, so relying on the aggregate
+installdirs target can still let the header copy run before $(includedir)/ss
+exists during parallel install.

Add a patch which fixes ordering problems in parallel e2fsprogs builds with --enable-elf-shlibs. Library subdirectories can otherwise return from "make all" before both the static archive and the ELF shared library image have been created. Consumers from other subdirectories can then link against incomplete or incorrect artifacts. On x86-64 this can make libext2fs.so fall back to the non-PIC libcom_err.a and fail on R_X86_64_TPOFF32 relocations from lib/et/error_message.o. The patch also tightens lib/ss ordering so generated files and install directories are present before parallel consumers use them.
