Hmm there's no actual error in the build.log. Did it fail or did you stop it with CTRL-C?

[MOHAMED19OS]

I stop use CTRL-C

[cpackham]

There's no failure in the build.log. It seemed to be still running when you killed it. There may just be a miss match between your expectation of how long the build should take vs the reality of how long it actually does take.

You could bump up the log level or watch the build using tail -f build.log in another shell. Just to distinguish the build locking up vs just taking a really long time.

You're not the first to report a lockup but so far on-one has been able to demonstrate one repeatably.

I think I can help narrow this one down. I believe the issue is make v4.4+. There appears to be an infinite loop that glibc 2.19-2.25 exhibits on make v4.4+. If you build a newer glibc (specifically, one after this change) you won't run into the hang. Equivalently, if you use make v4.3 or earlier, you won't run into the hang either. I tried to see if there is a self-contained backport possible from that change, but as far as I can tell it's just that the make graph is perturbed, masking whatever true error is occurring.

I'm not sure if ct-ng is going to be able to fix this for us, other than warning if the user provides a make version that is known to have an issue with this version of glibc.

To reproduce the error, it was sufficient for me to do the following in the glibc-2.19 checkout:

git reset --hard
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
../configure --prefix=$(pwd)/prefix
make -j30 lib

If you run with make -d you can see that make gets into a loop re-executing itself while trying to remake build/bits/stdio_lim.d.

@staticfloat thanks, I had the same issue although with glibc 2.17. Downgraded make to 4.3 and the process finished successfully.

[merlinblack]

Seeing this exact problem too - with glibc-2.31 and make 4.4 (Fedora38), when trying to build for raspberry pi running bullseye.

[cpackham]

Hopefully #1990 has provided a workaround for this. Closing for now.
