Hi, I haven't been able to compile recent sbcl for some time now (I currently use 0.9.1-r1). Here are the USE flags it wants to compile with : [ebuild U ] dev-lisp/sbcl-0.9.4 [0.9.1-r1] -hardened -ldb -nosource +threads +unicode I'm no expert, but it seemed to me that it could have been a thread issue. emerge output and emerge --info follows. ================================================================================ ... obj/from-xc/src/code/late-setf.lisp-obj obj/from-xc/src/code/late-format.lisp-obj obj/from-xc/src/code/sxhash.lisp-obj obj/from-xc/src/code/signal.lisp-obj obj/from-xc/src/code/late-defbangmethod.lisp-obj obj/from-xc/src/pcl/walk.lisp-obj [building initial core file in "output/cold-sbcl.core": writing 4096 bytes [1 page] from #<SB!FASL::GSPACE :READ-ONLY> writing 4096 bytes [1 page] from #<SB!FASL::GSPACE :STATIC> writing 34205696 bytes [8351 pages] from #<SB!FASL::GSPACE :DYNAMIC> /(DESCRIPTOR-BITS INITIAL-FUN)=#XA2ADE3D done] * //testing for consistency of first and second GENESIS passes //header files match between first and second GENESIS -- good real 8m39.069s user 6m58.590s sys 0m11.605s //entering make-target-2.sh //doing warm init This is SBCL 0.9.4, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

I tried with USE="-threads" and it worked fine. Any ideas ?
Does the problem persist with dev-lisp/sbcl-0.9.6?
Yes, failing at the same place, but it has a more explicit error message : This version of SBCL only works correctly with the NPTL threading library. Please use a newer glibc, use an older SBCL, or stop using LD_ASSUME_KERNEL I have glibc-2.3.6 (last x86 one) and USE="nptl" so I don't know what could cause this...
You mentioned that your kernel is 2.6.14-mm1-ubik. I haven't tried running SBCL with that kernel. Does the problem persist with gentoo-sources? eg. 2.6.14-gentoo
As this has been failing for some time (since 0.9.2 if I recall correctly), I have tried it with quite a variety of kernels, both -mm and vanilla (ubik is the name of my machine), including some stable ones (2.6.13 for instance), so I don't think it's kernel related, unless there's some gentoo related patch that doesn't make it to vanilla for some reason. I'll try gentoo-sources tonight.
Alexandre: Is this still a problem? Did you try gentoo-sources?
I tested this on sbcl-0.9.7 and couldn't repeat the problem.

I'm sorry, I didn't try on gentoo-sources. I'll try to do it soon and reopen if the problem is still there. Thanks.
I had forgotten about this bug... Adding USE="nptlonly" and recompiling glibc fixed the problem.
