glibc: Indefinite hang building stdio-common

[sepen]

I tried to build toolchain arm-linux-gnueabihf (branch 3.5) and the process was running for several hours without any updates:

...

I have also tried switching to make -j1 but the result is the same.

I'm running a CRUX 3.7 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) as a host with versions:

• gcc 12.3.0-2
• make 4.4.1-1

It seems that older glibc (<=2.31) has a problem with newer GNU Make (>=4.4). Downgrade to 4.3 would be a temporary fix as commented in this post crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng#1946
