As an experiment I'm building this on an old dual core Atom processor with 8 GB RAM. The GCC tests were very slow (of course) but to my surprise exited with only the two "unexpected" failures in the libstdc++ test suite. However, while the tests were running I noticed some output to the console of:-
show_signal_message: 6 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 2 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 3 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 3 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 4 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 4 callbacks suppressed do_trap: 1 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 1 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 1 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 2 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 2 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 1 callbacks suppressed show_signal_message: 1 callbacks suppressed Can anybody explain this to me as it's beyond my knowledge, but I'm assuming that they are kernel messages. I've tried a web search but I can't find anything related to it. The only change I made to the build was to upgrade the kernel to 4.8.12. These messages don't appear to have affected the build; everything seems to be fine, but I would be interested to know what caused them. I don't remember ever receiving these messages in past builds. BTW I did remember to set ulimit -s to the required 32768. Is the x32 increase an arbitrary figure or can it be increased still further? Does it need to be? More information that may be useful: the host is running a Btrfs file system with a two SSD RAID setup. Despite reading some doubts about the integrity of Btrfs, I've never experienced any issues with it.
