validate hangs in configure
Running ./validate on a freshly updated HEAD results in the script hanging during the configuration process.
Here's what's on the screen:
checking whether float word order is big endian... no
checking for nlist in -lelf... no
checking leading underscore in symbol names... no
checking whether ld understands -x... yes
checking whether ld is GNU ld... yes
checking for .subsections_via_symbols... no
checking for GNU non-executable stack support... no
checking for clock_gettime in -lrt... yes
checking for clock_gettime... yes
checking for timer_create... yes
checking for timer_settime... yes
checking for a working timer_create(CLOCK_REALTIME)...
HEre's what 'top' has to say about what is running:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
29457 nr 20 0 2000 480 368 R 88 0.0 9:18.12 conftest
And strace of that process reveals an endless stream of these:
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) @ 0 (0) ---
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) @ 0 (0) ---
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
--- SIGVTALRM (Virtual timer expired) @ 0 (0) ---
sigreturn() = ? (mask now [])
