-# In the RPM build environment, a parallel build with gtkdoc documentation
-# enabled fails with:
-#   /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -linstpatch-1.0: No such file or directory
+# We cannot reliably build gtkdoc documentation at the same time as the
+# library. It appears that gtkdoc-scangobj attempts to link the library before
+# it is built.
 #
 # The best fix would be to find the missing dependency relationship or other
 # problem in the CMake build scripts, but this is not quite obvious.
 #
-# Additionally, the problem seems to be triggered by something in the RPM build
-# environment (CMake options, CFLAGS, etc.), and we haven’t narrowed this down
-# yet, which means we aren’t prepared to report the problem upstream.
-# Assistance is welcome.
+# Historically this could be worked around by setting _smp_ncpus_max to 1, but
+# this has stopped working.

+# Instead, we build with gtkdoc documenatgion disabled to get the library, then
+# enable the gtkdoc documentation and rebuild. This guarantees the library is
+# ready when gtkdoc-scangobj runs.
