I tried two non-koji ppc64le machines and not reproduced.  I'll have a look
once more and I can possibly disable that test for ppc64le for now.

Comment 1 Pavel Raiskup 2016-12-19 14:30:29 UTC

The test is (probably) 'test-lock'.

Comment 2 Pavel Raiskup 2016-12-20 15:05:15 UTC

Turns out this is not ppc64le only:

Raised question on Gnulib's bug tracker:

Comment 3 Pavel Raiskup 2016-12-21 12:28:45 UTC

There are two instances of 'test-lock' in gettext sources, one was already
disabled (as I learned now) so I (temporarily) disabled also the other one.

Let's keep this bug open until that get's sorted out.

This package has changed maintainer in Fedora. Reassigning to the new maintainer of this component.

Comment 5 Kamil Dudka 2023-04-19 13:36:14 UTC

If you really need to re-enable gnulib's test-lock, I would recommend to at least disable DO_TEST_RWLOCK because the unit test verifies code that is used by literally nothing and it tends to hang indefinitely on build hosts: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/coreutils/blob/6e05a629136449563ab68cdf32acb9d374f51c1f/f/coreutils-8.26-test-lock.patch

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2024-03-05 05:49:33 UTC

Patch was dropped downstream in f06c2682abc (2019).
