Hi there,
while trying to rebuild a few packages on my fairly old hppa box (PA8600
CPU) I noticed some of them like rsyslog and syslog-ng stall during
configure, with a conftest program eating 100% CPU. Funnily, killing
that process does not abort the build and produces a usable package.
The sync operations for double word operations were introduced in gcc on
2014-11-21.
These require kernel support. I suspect the stalls occur because your
kernel is too old and
doesn't support double-word atomics. Possibly, installing the current
Debian kernel from
unstable would resolve the problem.
Helge can provide an account on phantom for development if necessary.
