Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2006 12:35:40 -0500 User-Agent: KMail/1.9.1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Message-Id: <200612071235.41252.rob@landley.net> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Right at the start of the build: scripts/kconfig/conf -s arch/arm/Kconfig CHK include/linux/version.h SYMLINK include/asm-arm/arch -> include/asm-arm/arch-integrator Generating include/asm-arm/mach-types.h CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h UPD include/linux/utsrelease.h Where there's a one line gap the build hangs for five minutes (eating no CPU, blocked one something). I hit "enter" and it resumes again. It does this reproducibly for me. It seems to be blocked running: 6983 pts/3 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/git rev-parse --verify HEAD Which is odd because this is the release version and hasn't got .git stuff in it. I did an "rm /usr/bin/git" (I don't use it, I dunno why ubuntu decided to install it) and the hang went away. Why is the build even _calling_ git on a release version? The invocation was: make ARCH="${KARCH}" CROSS_COMPILE="${CROSS_TARGET}"- && Where KARCH=arm and CROSS_TARGET is a cross compile toolchain that built a working copy of uClibc.
