I have been slowly and carefully ( and in fits and starts ) working my way through a LFS build on my itty bitty PowerPC unit here. When I get to this stage the process seems to freeze up. What I mean is that the configure and the make ran fine. They took about 12 hours or so to get done. However, the "make -k check 2>&1 | tee glibc-check-log" process has been running for about 30 hours and I see no progress. In fact, for the past ten hours or so the line on my terminal has been : gcc test-tgmath2.c -c -std=gnu99 -fgnu89-inline -O2 -Wall -Winline -Wwrite-strings -fmerge-all-constants -g -mnew-mnemonics -Wstrict-prototypes -mlong-double-128 -fno-builtin -Wno-uninitialized -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -D__LIBC_INTERNAL_MATH_INLINES -I../include -I/sources/build/glibc-build/math -I/sources/build/glibc-build -I../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/elf -I../sysdeps/powerpc/elf -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu -I../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32/fpu -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32 -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc32 -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc -I../sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-128ibm -I../sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-opt -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -I../nptl/sysdeps/pthread -I../sysdeps/pthread -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux -I../sysdeps/gnu -I../sysdeps/unix/common -I../sysdeps/unix/mman -I../sysdeps/unix/inet -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv -I../sysdeps/unix/sysv -I../sysdeps/unix/powerpc -I../nptl/sysdeps/unix -I../sysdeps/unix -I../sysdeps/posix -I../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc32 -I../sysdeps/wordsize-32 -I../sysdeps/powerpc/fpu -I../nptl/sysdeps/powerpc -I../sysdeps/powerpc -I../sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64 -I../sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 -I../sysdeps/ieee754 -I../sysdeps/generic/elf -I../sysdeps/generic -I../nptl -I.. -I../libio -I. -D_LIBC_REENTRANT -include ../include/libc-symbols.h -DNOT_IN_libc=1 -o /sources/build/glibc-build/math/test-tgmath2.o -MD -MP -MF /sources/build/glibc-build/math/test-tgmath2.o.dt -MT /sources/build/glibc-build/math/test-tgmath2.o I am able to hit enter and see a carraige return. I can not ssh into the machine any longer but the serial console is working. I then hiy CTRL-C and waited for a while. Eventually I got back my prompt. So then ... should I simply run the "make -k check" again ? Or maybe delete the entire "glibc-build" directory and start over while being a tad more patient? Are there some "wait-longer-before-test-bailout" switches I can add here for this slow machine? Yes I realize that an embedded PowerPC type unit with 128MB of RAM is pushing the boundaries of reasonable but there is no reason why the LFS process can not succeed.
