Public bug reported: I have been doing some work cross compiling qemu for Windows using a minimal Fedora container. Recently I started hitting some timeouts on the CI service and noticed a build of all targets was going over 1 hour.
It seems like the 'cmp' utility from diffutils is used somewhere in the process and if it's missing, either a configure or a make gets run way too many times - I'll try to pull logs from the CI system at some stage soon. Could a warning or error be added if cmp is missing? ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882497 Title: Missing 'cmp' utility makes build take 10 times as long Status in QEMU: New Bug description: I have been doing some work cross compiling qemu for Windows using a minimal Fedora container.
