I can get to it a bit later on tonight. As to freeze, how do things work for the corresponding BLFS?
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.
Sorry, I have not seen this yet. But I've only completed two jhalfs runs since new glibc hit trunk. Perl is on my list of packages for tonight (or tomorrow), so it'll get built (and tested) at least a couple of times. Maybe I'll get lucky. :-/
