Dear LFS community,
Chapter 6.13 of LFS book 7.4 installs binutils-2.32.2. On my system, configure
and make work, but make check eventually hangs.
I am using Redhat 6.4 (without subscription), and I have to admit that my gawk
version is not the one requested by the book.

What I have found so far:
The offending program is /sources/binutils-build/libiberty/testsuite/test-
pexecute. It hangs while running test-pexecute abort (both test-pexecute
processes are hanging). The expected behaviour is to get a SIGABRT and die
with a core dump.
The test-pexecute abort process is waiting on the pipe_w waitchannel.
Running test-pexecute abort directly from the shell prompt also hangs.
Killing the test-pexecute abort process (^C) results in the expected abort:
# ./test-pexecute abort
^CAborted (core dumped)
#
By adding a printf to the test-pexecute source, I could confirm that the
program hangs after entering the abort() routine.
All of the above also happens when running test-pexecute abort in the non-
chrooted environment.
I also ran the program under gdb. Here, SIGABRT is delivered as expected.
Any suggestions what I should do from there? Install the more recent version
of gawk and start over, perhaps, or are there more investigations I could
make?
Thanks a lot in advance.
