I have repeated this experiment over and over and finally waited for a whole day while the emerge was stuck in the same place. Repeatable. This is what I ran : s# /usr/bin/time -p /usr/bin/nice -n +18 emerge --ask --verbose dev-scheme/guile The last output seen was this : ./guile-snarf-docs -o vports.doc vports.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math ./guile-snarf-docs -o weak-set.doc weak-set.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math ./guile-snarf-docs -o weak-table.doc weak-table.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math ./guile-snarf-docs -o weak-vector.doc weak-vector.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math ./guile-snarf-docs -o posix.doc posix.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math ./guile-snarf-docs -o net_db.doc net_db.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math ./guile-snarf-docs -o socket.doc socket.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math ./guile-snarf-docs -o regex-posix.doc regex-posix.c -- -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBUILDING_LIBGUILE=1 -I.. -I.. -I../lib -I../lib -I/usr/lib64/libffi/include -I/var/tmp/portage/dev-scheme/guile-2.2.7-r1/work/guile-2.2.7 -m64 -g -O0 -mno-app-regs -mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -mno-vis -mno-vis2 -mno-vis3 -mno-vis4 -mno-vis4b -mno-cbcond -mno-fmaf -mno-fsmuld -mno-popc -mno-subxc -fno-builtin -fno-fast-math cat alist.doc array-handle.doc array-map.doc arrays.doc async.doc atomic.doc backtrace.doc boolean.doc bitvectors.doc bytevectors.doc chars.doc control.doc continuations.doc debug.doc deprecated.doc deprecation.doc dynl.doc dynwind.doc eq.doc error.doc eval.doc evalext.doc expand.doc extensions.doc fdes-finalizers.doc feature.doc filesys.doc fluids.doc foreign.doc fports.doc gc-malloc.doc gc.doc gettext.doc generalized-arrays.doc generalized-vectors.doc goops.doc gsubr.doc guardians.doc hash.doc hashtab.doc hooks.doc i18n.doc init.doc ioext.doc keywords.doc list.doc load.doc macros.doc mallocs.doc memoize.doc modules.doc numbers.doc objprop.doc options.doc pairs.doc ports.doc print.doc procprop.doc procs.doc promises.doc r6rs-ports.doc random.doc rdelim.doc read.doc rw.doc scmsigs.doc script.doc simpos.doc smob.doc sort.doc srcprop.doc srfi-1.doc srfi-4.doc srfi-13.doc srfi-14.doc srfi-60.doc stackchk.doc stacks.doc stime.doc strings.doc strorder.doc strports.doc struct.doc symbols.doc syntax.doc threads.doc throw.doc trees.doc unicode.doc uniform.doc values.doc variable.doc vectors.doc version.doc vports.doc weak-set.doc weak-table.doc weak-vector.doc dynl.doc posix.doc net_db.doc socket.doc regex-posix.doc | GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 ../meta/build-env guild snarf-check-and-output-texi > guile-procedures.texi || { rm guile-procedures.texi;

Please always include emerge --info for bug reports. guile does take longer if there's no bootstrap binary available within the upstream dist tarball. But it's going to take far longer if you build with -O0. Please try with -O2.

You're free to strace it or run gdb on it to see what it's doing. But again, it's just genuinely *extremely slow*. On a sparc machine which is way more powerful than yours, it took 2 hours and 15 minutes.
like, I totally get your point, this is crazy slow, but it's also consistent with everything I've seen involving guile when it has no binary bootstrap.
(also, the -O1 there refers to guile's optimisation, which is not the same as CFLAGS)

I agree ... it is hilarious. The slowest thing I have seen in years!

No idea. I shall let it churn very very very slowly and check back in a few days.

Would you mind sharing which precise model this is? I'm very curious :)
