Checking for msgmerge... in configure phase of various packages causes configure to hang indefinitely with 100% cpu usage. Building happens in a qemu-user chroot with binfmt_misc. Killing the process from a different console with `kill $PID` will put the check in (Terminated) result and will continue check and building of the package. The $PID is the qemu-static-arm process using 100% cpu. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7161122.html proposed to emerge gettext with USE=-openmp. But I think this was not the problem. Deleting the /usr/bin/msgmerge binary and re-emerging gettext with or without the openmp flag solves the problem. I had to delete it, since gettext itself checks for the binary when building. I tried a few times now with different packages and gettext USE=openmp and USE=-openmp and everything works fine now. Is it a corrupt binary in the stage3? The binary is reinstalled the first time. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download and extract in chroot dir. http://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/arm/autobuilds/current-stage3-armv6j_hardfp/stage3-armv6j_hardfp-20131128.tar.bz2 2. bind mount /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys and /usr/portage into the root 3. echo ':arm:M::\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x28\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff:/usr/bin/qemu-static-arm-binfmt:P' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register 4. cp -L /etc/resolv.conf $chroot/etc/resolv.conf 5. chroot $chroot /bin/bash --login 6. emerge -1v gettext OR emerge -e world OR any other package that checks for msgmerge. Results: Configure will hang with 100% cpu load for qemu-static-arm at the 'Checking for msgmerge...' line. Expected results: line explaining where the binary is (/usr/bin/msgmerge), continue of configure and build Note: In order not to trash my host system with static-libs requirements to compile qemu-static-arm, I directly downloaded the sabayon binary package .tbz2 archive and put the required binaries in the chroot. (app-emulation/qemu-user-1.4.0) and I used the following binaries: * usr/bin/qemu-static-arm * usr/bin/qemu-static-arm-binfmt

unless you can reproduce on real hardware, we're not tracking issues like this as they're most likely problems in qemu itself
