If you take a look at the build log for 2.3.5-8: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=glibc&ver=2.3.5-8&arch=s390&stamp=1131871464&file=log&as=raw
you'll see that it timed out. This is almost certainly caused by the terrible NPTL test results; some of them leave background processes running if they fall over sufficiently badly. I rebuilt glibc on raptor by hand. The only NPTL test failures were: make[3]: *** [/home/dan/glibc-2.3.5/build-tree/s390-nptl/nptl/tst-cancel17.out] Error 1 make[3]: *** [/home/dan/glibc-2.3.5/build-tree/s390-nptl/nptl/tst-dlsym1.out] Error 1 make[3]: *** [/home/dan/glibc-2.3.5/build-tree/s390-nptl/nptl/tst-cancelx17.out] Error 1 make[2]: *** [nptl/tests] Error 2 The two cancel17 failures can be ignored, they're a bug in the test. I don't know what the dlsym1 test failure is. But in any case the important bit is that all the other threading tests worked just fine, and none of them hung. What kernel is the build daemon running? Does it have threading problems? I don't think glibc 2.3.5 has ever successfully autobuilt on s390. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
