--- Comment #7 from Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox at inbox dot ru> --- I think I got closer to the problem: it's a bad error handling related to -EMFILE (too many open files). nodejs is probably just very close to open file limit (default 1023): $ strace -f -olog -etrace=execve,openat ./mk.bash ... 684205 execve("/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.0.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld", ... 684205 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/portage/net-libs/nodejs-16.5.0/work/node-v16.5.0/out/Release/obj.target/v8_compiler/deps/v8/src/compiler/simd-scalar-lowering.o", O_RDONLY) = 10 23 684205 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/portage/net-libs/nodejs-16.5.0/work/node-v16.5.0/out/Release/obj.target/v8_compiler/deps/v8/src/compiler/simd-scalar-lowering.o", O_RDONLY) = 89 8 684205 openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/portage/net-libs/nodejs-16.5.0/work/node-v16.5.0/out/Release/obj.target/v8_compiler/deps/v8/src/compiler/backend/instruction-scheduler.o", O_RDO NLY) = -1 EMFILE (Too many open files) 684205 +++ exited with 1 +++ Don't yet know why EMFILE handling did not kick in. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
