I noticed that the same exact build on i7-920 (4 CPUs) consumes ~15% more
user CPU when run with -j 8 compared to -j 4.
Hyper-threading is enabled so top shows 8 CPUs.
Why would user time be higher in a hyper-threaded run?
because it doesn't count actual instruction executed but - as name

see this as being a real reason why a particular gcc needs to be
around at runtime. Look at the dynamic linking information with ldd. If
it doesn't depend on a file provided by those versions of gcc, it's
probably an inaccuracy in the port's dependency list.
Here's the online documentation
The pthread_* calls you are making aren't listed as being safe to run
within the context of a signal handler, and could cause a thread
waiting on that condition to be unblocked and start running. Please
see earlier comments about mixing threads and signal handlers.
Okay, fair enough. I'll
Under what circumstances might a kill -2 nnn not work. I have a Python app
with a signal handler configured to catch INT signals. It seems to work fine,
but we've recently noticed that after the app has run for a while the kill -2
no longer works. This seems pretty suspicious, perhaps

The amount of stuff you're allowed to do safely in a signal handler is
pretty minimal-- you're better off setting a flag, returning from the
signal handler, and having the next run past the main event loop or
whatever check for the flag and handle things in a normal app
context. If you try to
