I am having a problem with jhalfs that is driving me nuts. I hope
somebody there can point me in a useful direction for help.
First a little background: I've been intermittently building LFS for
around ten years, for fun and learning. Recently started to use jhalfs.
I've been away for a while; my last build effort, in 2017, yielded a
primitive windowing environment but nothing that I could really
substitute for my Linuxmint programming habits.
Two days ago I made a fresh start, with a freshly downloaded (via svn)
copy of jhalfs. Configured for no kernel, no systemd, SVN version
rather than book. There were no problems; the build completed normally
in four hours.
So yesterday I started another moderately more ambitious build. This
time we'll build a kernel, I thought. It took me a little while to get
a .config file (I unpacked the kernel package to a location entirely
outside the jhalfs world and ran 'make defconfig' there), and then it
took me a little while longer to figure out that I needed to specify the
location of that .config with an absolute pathname.
The build started around 3pm.
It failed. And I haven't been able to figure out why.
Here are the error messages (following the fiveline header of my log
entry) that terminated the jhalfs make session:

Based on these messages, I've looked at the relevant makefile targets,
I've examined "common/common-functions line 39" and found nothing that
could really explain the source of the error.
Any suggestions for me? This is an avocation, not a job; I'm long
retired, with time to investigate things. I'll appreciate anything you
can tell me.
