From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050501 Red Hat/1.7.7-1.1.3.4

Description of problem:
Building i686 on a dual PIII fails. i386 builds just fine. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.3.2-95.33

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild -bb --target i686 glibc.spec

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2005-05-21 09:01:25 UTC
You have not mentioned what errors you saw.  grep for '\*\*\*.*\.out'.
There are some expected errors in i386 glibc, I think tst-clock1 is supposed
to fail because due to lack of tsc i386 glibc (rather than i686) doesn't have
support for some clocks.
glibc.spec intentionally runs make check || :, so that a check failure does
not prevent glibc build, but we can analyze what failures are expected, what
failures are fatal and what non-fatal.

Comment 2 Zenon Panoussis 2005-05-21 21:28:12 UTC
I compiled it again. At "make: *** [check] Error 2" above, rpmbuild hangs
forever, not returning a prompt. Pressing <enter> a few times does nothing.

Comment 3 Zenon Panoussis 2005-05-22 07:46:18 UTC
I had a hunch, not really based on anything rational, that the problem could be
caused by some kind of race between the two CPUs. So I installed the UP kernel
and tried yet again. Result: Exit 0.


Comment 4 Jakub Jelinek 2005-05-23 09:48:13 UTC
We run these tests on UP and SMP boxes very often (up to 8way) and never seen
this.  I guess your box was busy with some other workload.
You can try running the testcases by hand on an idle system.
elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl nptl/tst-exit2; echo $?
elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl nptl/tst-exit3; echo $?
elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl nptl/tst-exec4 elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl
nptl/tst-exec4; echo $?
Anyway, as I know it is not reproduceable for us, there is nothing we can do
about it.

I have the same problem, when I want to build i686 or athlon package. But I'm
using the UP kernel - System ist updated to U5. It always hangs at the point
discribed above. 

Any ideas?

Comment 6 Zenon Panoussis 2005-06-01 22:58:45 UTC
I have no useful ideas, but I can offer a solution to this NOTABUG: 

FTP server: griffin.qdh.nl
login:      tobias.w
password:   bug158379

You can get the ready binaries there.
