Error description
When building software using clearmake in an IBM Rational ClearCase dynamic view, the 'Unable to place marker in MVFS audit - Invalid argument' error may occur if all of the following are true: 1) The makefile itself is a symlink to a central skeleton makefile that '#includes' a destination-directory resident file that contains the actual build instructions. 2) The top-level target is a .NO_CONFIG_REC target. 3) This target does not write any files, but starts a child make in a subdirectory of the current directory 4) The child make builds 'normal' DO targets. 5) The build is started with 'clearmake -u' for unconditional rebuild.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When using IBM Rational ClearCase's makefile based build utility Clearmake, it throws "clearmake: Error: Unable to place marker in MVFS audit - Invalid argument" error for the recursive builds where parent make is invoked with .NO_CONFIG_REC target and there is no fresh build happening in the child make. This behaviour is seen in ClearCase 7.1.2.7 or 8.0.0.3 or prior versions.
Problem conclusion
A fix is available in ClearCase versions 7.1.2.8 and 8.0.0.4
