Bug 234249 – sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3.6 ebuild.sh fails to run src_compile()

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description David Radice 2008-08-08 15:00:51 UTC]

When trying to emerge libstdc++-v3 the emerging process stops before starting to configure the package, "/bin/bash /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh compile" takes 100% of the CPU and starts eating the system resources and filling the RAM until its killed or the systems becomes totally unresponsable. 

It is possible that this is related to the fact that I recently switched to "-nls", actually I was performing an emerge -uDN world while I hit this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1 libstdc++-v3
2. wait
3.

Actual Results:  
Emerge hangs at:

>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libstdc++-v3-3.3.6/work/gcc-3.3.6 ...


Expected Results:  
The package should go on configuring and building

As I reportaed in #234367 I got the same issue. I think it could be related to the flag-o-matic.eclass.

I did an upgrade to gcc 4.3.1 and wanted to do a reemerge of the whole system.
The reemerge sys-libs/libstdc++ took a long time with only annoucing the
compile function but not showing the einfo which is before the configure
command in the ebuild. There is no output neither to stdout nor to build.log.
ebuild.sh is running with 100% cpu.
Further investigation showed that it breaks in line 14 at "replace-cpu-flags
pentium-m pentium3m pentium3". If this commented out the next break is at line
18. If line 191 the do_filter_flag call is commented out, it builds fine.
Also if CXXFLAGS are unset.

Used env:
portage-2.2-rc6
gcc-4.3.1
glibc-2.6.1
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=prescott -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Same problem here: top shows that ebuild.sh is taking up all of my memory and cause system unresponsiveness

[Comment 4 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2008-09-14 18:51:57 UTC]

emerge --info -v please.  i think i have an idea where it's going wrong.

[Comment 5 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2008-09-14 19:49:34 UTC]

I was able to reproduce this by setting FFLAGS.  If you sync up after an hour or so and try again it should work.

Works for me. Thanks!

[Comment 7 David Radice 2008-09-14 22:01:41 UTC]

Works here too. Thanks!
