Configure scripts from auto-conf generated software source packages runs extremely slowly (several seconds between each test). Top shows that when configure is waiting, python is using 99% of the CPU. ps ax showed that it might be configure calling gcc-config that is invoking this cpu hogging python script. This only happens occasionally however it affects all configure scripts and I have to reboot to stop the problem. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. run an auto-config generated configure script 2. 3. Actual Results: configure runs extremely slowly (2 seconds or more between tests), CPU utilisation is at 100% slowing the entire system down. Expected Results: configure should complete several tests per second without hogging all CPU time.
update gcc-config to the latest stable version there was an issue, but it's already fixed
