Could this happen if the clock on your machine is very wrong? I've seen something like this before when the clock was set for 1915. Ted, have you been able to resolve this problem? My clock is set via NTP, so its accurate within a few minutes of atomic time. I'm still unable to gtet this to build. I've erased the work directories, tried numerous times, same results. TEd Ted, any news on this bug? Frankly, nobody else has ever hit it, to my knowledge... Getting pretty close to WORKSFORME, unfortunately. Resolving WORKSFORME. Never heard of this afflicting anybody but Ted... :-/ This happens to me too. If you install gentoo with an NFS root partition, it happens. Instead of doing mount /dev/??? /mnt/gentoo do.... mount -t nfs <host>:/<dir> /mnt/gentoo and run the bootstrap/scripts.sh and watch it loop when building glibc. Again my clocks are set via NTP and are very accurate. Created attachment 33956 [details]
output from make install
kernel version 2.6.6
gcc 3.3.1
simply downloaded glibc-2.3.2 followed the INSTALL file instructions to the
letter configure and make ran through ok but make install goes into a loop.
Tried to remove the offending sub directories string, time, posix and misc
but after the other dirs are processed it recreates one of them again and
goes back in to a loop.
I had encountered exactly the same problem. RedHat 7 kernel 2.2.16, gcc 3.4.0, make 3.80, binutils 2.15, texinfo 4.0-15, awk 3.06, Perl 5.6.0, sed 3.02. |
