Hi all,

I have tried to find existings bug for this issue, but have not found
any. As I am only trying to build mono but dont have any experience
using it, please accept my apologies should I have produced a
duplicate.

Trying to build mono, I have come across something which looked like
an unreproducible bug at first sight.

make --no-print-directory CC=/home/slink/BUILD/HEAD/metabuild/CC
EXTERNAL_MCS=/home/slink/BUILD/HEAD/metabuild/work/mono-1.2.6/runtime/_tmpinst/bin/mcs

make[4]: *** [profiles-do--all] Error 2
make[3]: *** [all-local] Error 2
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

pls note: The mcs error output is supressed by some part of the
Makefile or some include.

Interestingly, this bug was not reproducible even with the same
environment variables set that make uses when calling mcs/mono.

GC Warning: Large stack limit(10485760): only scanning 8 MB

The GC warning lead me to what seems to be related to the root cause:
Somewhere in the make call chain, the stack limit is removed. Here's a
diff between prctl -i <pid> of the mono process called from make and
the test as quoted above (pls note: I am using ulimit and prctl
whatever seemed to be most convenient in each situation, but in
Solaris, prctl supersedes ulimit):

After removing the stack size limit, the issue is also reproducible outside
make:

Conversely, the build process continues when a hard stack size limit
is being imposed (solaris: privileged resource control)

mene:~/BUILD/HEAD/metabuild/work$ ulimit -Hs $((10*1024))
+ ulimit -Hs 10240
mene:~/BUILD/HEAD/metabuild/work$ prctl -i pid $$| ggrep -A 3
process.max-stack-size
+ prctl -i pid 21175
+ ggrep -A 3 process.max-stack-size
process.max-stack-size
        privileged      10.0MB      -   deny                                 -
        system           125TB    max   deny                                 -
process.max-data-size

.. make seems to work now ...
