I have not attempted to reproduce it, but with nice -n 19 the 'make bootstrap' didn't cause a repeat of the problem. It could have been a combination of things which were running at the same time. uClibc and gcc-4.1 don't get along very well, so I pointed the finger at that. I think the majority of users build lfs/hlfs on a desktop system while running a gui/xorg. In these situations running 'make', and './configure', with 'nice' is always a good idea, to keep the gui responsive. > So I rather prefered to fix the problem rather than setting nice levels. I agree, but using a nice level controls unexpected problems. If we start using a lot of gcc options, like -DFORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector-all -Wformat=2 -Wsecurity -Wshadow -Werror -lmudflap, with maybe additional options like -fwhole-program -combine -fprofile-use, this starts using considerably more resources to compile and has a higher risk of getting out of control (while unstable). robert -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/hlfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
