Description

Unfortunately this error occurs inconsistently, and some mwldmips runs are fine and others are not. Using wine does not seem to result in the same issue. Full error:

#0 548.4 wibo tools/compilers/mw/2.3.1.01/mwldmips.exe -map -nostdlib -m _start -nodead -g -o build/SCUS_971.11 SCUS_971.11.lcf @build/o_files
#0 548.4 Unexpected error in CWParserSetOutputFileDirectory [3]

mwldmips is used by my Dark Cloud decompilation project here.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mwldmips.exe 2.3.1 command from the report, using the referenced Dark Cloud decompilation Makefile and comparing wibo with wine. Trace the intermittent CWParserSetOutputFileDirectory error in wibo; done means identifying and fixing the cause so the build command runs reliably, or documenting a confirmed blocker.
