I have just committed an update to LFS that clears all the tickets for the

or open a ticket.
I do have one concern that I'd like to discuss. When doing an update, I
usually build the entire LFS system, including all checks in Chapter 6. I
started this process last night, but the checks for perl hung for about six
hours. Killing the process and just re-running the perl build/checks and
continuing completed the rest of the build without further issue.
I've seen the perl tests hang before after glibc-2.24 was installed, but not
every time. The fact that just rerunning the checks passes points to a
timing issue. To me the most likely culprit is glibc, however I can't be
sure.
My first question here is whether anyone else has seen this problem? The
second issue is how we should address it, if at all.
Suggestions welcome.
I assume your hang was not in lib/Benchmark ?
I really don't know. When I restarted the build, it blew away the old
test log. I should have saved it, but didn't.
