I'm trying that now (first time ever). Unfortunately the make is stuck at the last line for 10+ minutes, with `top' showing xform.rkt pegged at 99% CPU.
Make output: ... ranlib libracket.a make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/ec2-user/misc/racket-source/racket-5.1.1/src/build/racket' make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/ec2-user/misc/racket-source/racket-5.1.1/src/build/racket' make racketcgc make[4]: Entering directory `/home/ec2-user/misc/racket-source/racket-5.1.1/src/build/racket' gcc -I. -I../../racket/include -g -O2 -Wall -pthread -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DINITIAL_COLLECTS_DIRECTORY='"'"`cd ../../racket/../../collects; pwd`"'"' -c ../../racket/main.c -o main.o gcc -o racketcgc main.o libracket.a libmzgc.a -pthread -ldl -lm -ldl -lm -rdynamic make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/ec2-user/misc/racket-source/racket-5.1.1/src/build/racket' make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/ec2-user/misc/racket-source/racket-5.1.1/src/build/racket' cd gc2; make all make[3]: Entering directory `/home/ec2-user/misc/racket-source/racket-5.1.1/src/build/racket/gc2' mkdir xsrc make xsrc/precomp.h make[4]: Entering directory `/home/ec2-user/misc/racket-source/racket-5.1.1/src/build/racket/gc2' env XFORM_PRECOMP=yes ../racketcgc -cqu ../../../racket/gc2/xform.rkt --setup . --cpp "gcc -E -I./.. -I../../../racket/gc2/../include -pthread -DNEWGC_BTC_ACCOUNT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 " --keep-lines -o xsrc/precomp.h ../../../racket/gc2/precomp.c Meanwhile `top' shows xform.rkt pegged at 99% CPU. So seemingly the build of Racket involves running Racket, and is encountering the original problem I had? Presumably xform.rkt has a `require' early on?
