[gentoo-user] XEmacs build hangs loading update-elc.el

[Mike Edenfield]

I'm trying to build XEmacs on my laptop (Hardened ~amd64), and it appears to
be stuck near the end trying to load and/or execute "update-elc.el" (it's
been on this step for approaching 6 hours now). This happens every time I
attempt to build xemacs (I've re-synched and restarted the build multiple
times.)

 

I thought it might be related to having PaX in my kernel, but when I
switched softmode on, the build actually segfaults almost immedately!

 

Is it supposed to be taking this long for this step, and if not, what can I
do to see why it's locked up?

 

The last thing on my screen is this:

 

<really long gcc  linker command>

./xemacs -nd -no-packages -batch -l
/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/xemacs-21.5.31/work/xemacs-21.5.31/src/../lisp/
update-elc.el
