Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2024-08-21 09:10:55 CEST 
Trying to build glibc on a modern Fedora just results in the build hanging. I can see "make" consuming 100% CPU, but not outputting anything. Seem like we're triggering a bug that causes it to be stuck in a loop.

The last line we have before this is:

> mv -f /local/home/ossman/devel/cenbuild/repo/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.12.2/build/tls.makeT /local/home/ossman/devel/cenbuild/repo/rpmbuild/BUILD/glibc-2.12.2/build/tls.make

Seen with make-4.4.1-6.fc40.x86_64.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-01 16:55:23 CEST 
Issue unfortunately remains with glibc 2.28 and make-4.4.1-8.fc41.x86_64.
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-08 16:20:13 CEST 
The issue has to do with a modern make, not specifically Fedora. I see the same thing when upgrading make inside cenbuild.
Comment 5 Pierre Ossman cendio 2025-04-09 10:55:13 CEST 
Fix backported. I also upgraded make, now that it is possible.
Comment 6 Adam Halim cendio 2025-04-28 12:55:13 CEST 
We haven't seen any issues since applying this patch and upgrading make.

Closing.
