Thanks very much, also my glibc (2.6.1) is built under 2.6.23 (but not 
linux-headers, which is 2.6.22). but I've tried right now (install ELDK4.1) 
on another x86_64 machine, without any problem (x86_64, Core2Duo E6600, 4G 
RAM)

(yeah, but there were a truckload of other changes as well)

Looking at your data, _my_ first suspect would be the 2.6.22->2.6.23
futex changes.  I'd revert all of the changes to kernel/futex.c and
kernel/futex_compat.c, and see if the problem went away.  If it didn't,
I'd then do a full git bisect to nail it down.

No error message, but the installation just "freeze", I've waited for more 
than 1 hour, but still no progress, with 2.6.22.9 it was fine.

The task is S+ state, please see in the attachment tarball, SysRq-t output has 
also been attached, I wish it would help. I doubt it's the CFS problem 
because it's first introduced into the 2.6.23 kernel.

Not necessarily so if kernel version indeed makes the difference between
hung install and successful completion.

Perhaps he has any tasks stuck in 'D' state?  If so, SysRq-t output for
these would be a good thing to collect.  What leads him to suspect the
process scheduler, etc.  More details are needed.

kernel/futex_compat.c, and see if the problem went away.  If it didn't,

What's your XXX or YYY?

What error messages did you get?

Why don't you try to update your glibc or something like that?

I am afraid it's off-topic here.
