Hi there,

Issue submission guidelines

See detaled guidelines. In short:

• Report crosstool-NG version
  crosstool-ng-1.23.0 i downloaded the tar.xz
• Report host OS and its version
  macOS Sierra 10.12.5with following brew packages

brew list
autoconf		gobject-introspection	node
automake		harfbuzz		openexr
binutils		help2man		openssl
cairo			icu4c			pango
cmake			ilmbase			pcre
eigen			jpeg			pixman
fontconfig		json-c			pkg-config
fontforge		libffi			pyqt
freetype		libmicrohttpd		python
gawk			libpng			python3
gdbm			libtiff			qt
gettext			libtool			readline
glib			libuv			sip
gmp			mpfr			sqlite
gnu-sed			neon			tbb
go			nettle			xz

• Attach .config (unless the issue is not related to any configuration)
  i tried x86_64-ubuntu16.04-linux-gnu and i686-ubuntu16.04-linux-gnu samples without any modification

• Attach build.log (unless crosstool-NG fails before the build starts)

i did following these steps

download and unzip the archive
./configure --enable-local
make
./ct-ng list-samples
./ct-ng x86_64-ubuntu16.04-linux-gnu
./ct-ng build

after that i got the output above

maybe someone has a hint for me

I haven't seen this error before.
Just in case, what does ulimit -n say?

[BlackDuck888]

ulimit -a
core file size          (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size           (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size               (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory       (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size         (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                      (-n) 256
pipe size            (512 bytes, -p) 1
stack size              (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time               (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes              (-u) 709
virtual memory          (kbytes, -v) unlimited 

my hope was that i missed one dependency.

Try with ulimit -n 1024. I saw this value being too low cause a failure during glibc build in 10.13, but it was a different failure.

[BlackDuck888]

That did it! Thank you a lot!

Hey Ganesh, if you scroll up you could see that ulimit -n the open file limit under unix systems. You can check your current limits with ulimit -a and set a limit with for example ulimit -n 1024. This change is temporary and will be gone after reboot or relogin.
