[swift-users] Sporadically undefined symbols during linking

[Daniel Dunbar]

Are you saying that it fails about 75% of the time even when building from clean, or it fails overall 75% of the time and you have to build from clean to fix? In my experiments it always fails when building just ostrichframework. My guess is that if you build in the IDE you are seeing it sometimes stop based on one failure and other times stop based on another failure.

Can you open a bug on bugreporter.apple.com about this (and let me know the #), I do see some surprising behavior on your project.
