This is the second time make has hung reading a pipe. It occurred at exactly the same place in both cases (end of gcc bootstrap). System is 32-bit UP kernel running on c3750. I have seen it now with 2.6.30.9 and 2.6.31.6. I have to think this is libc6 related. Current version is 2.10.1-7. I haven't seen the problem with 64-bit kernel. I also have noticed that logins via ssh and su take a long time after the system runs for awhile. They are quite right after boot. Here's some random data that I collected from the first hang: dave@hiauly6:~/gnu/gcc/objdir$ /usr/bin/gdb /usr/bin/make 4506 GNU gdb (GDB) 7.0-debian Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The current hang could be debugged more if anybody has further ideas. Any thoughts? Dave -- J.
