The build process goes on; it never stops but doesn’t make any progress.

I don’t know if it’s deterministic.

It builds fine on i686-linux.

Happens for me too, unless I do --cores=1.

(In fact my computer turned off for unrelated reasons before the build
finished, but it had gone past to at least xorg.scm. But I think
--cores=1 made a difference.)

Interesting.

I worked around it with commit 1aa7ee52c6c520c2dbbdb06f1381466e9fd96294
on ‘version-1.4.0’.

Next I’d like to do some heap profiling to address the problem at its
root; it qualifies as a memory leak.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
