Before you try to clone the repository

module load GCCcore/6.4.0
module load Git/2.17.1

set up your environment

source scripts/environment.sh

download and build everything, including a test harness for detecting races caused by elfutils

make 

run the test harness to detect races caused by elfutils

cd test1
make check

output of the race detector will be placed in a timestamped typescript file

after you have built dyninst for the first time, you can add the -j16 flag to the dyninst-build target. I had some problems adding parallelism for the first build as dyninst built some dependences, but it works fine (and faster) with a -j16 parallel build to build changes.

note: the makefile in the test1 directory is crude. it will not rebuild the binary for cilk-parse if one of the libraries (e.g., dyninst symtabAPI or libdw) has changed. you can rebuild cilk-parse easily with

make clean
make

and then retest with

make check 

for historical reasons, the test1 directory has three interacting makefiles. makefile is the top-level one used when make is run. makefile employs Makefile, which employs Makefile.dyninst to get everything built. feel free to rewrite it if you want. it works, so I can live with it.
