sbcl 1.0.14_0 and sbcl 1.0.14_1 hang during build

[yaseppochi (Stephen J. Turnbull)]

Presumably during compilation of Lisp libraries; top shows sbcl is active but using 0% of cpu. For 1.0.14_0 this persisted for over 12 hours, for 1.0.14_1 about 1 hour at this point. ps shows

steve 13751   0.0  3.1  1654180  49544  p4  S+   10:39AM   0:03.92 ./src/runtime/sbcl --core output/cold-sbcl.core --no-sysinit --no-userinit

For some reason 1.0.14_1 takes about half the CPU time to get wedged; I'm not sure this is an improvement. ;-)

I am not able to reproduce it works just fine for me. MacPro with 'port install sbcl +threads'.

iBook G4, PPC, Mac OS X 10.4.11 "Tiger". original report based on "port upgrade sbcl" from 1.0.12. port allows +threads but it aborts on PPC:

gencgc.c:3875:6: error: #error "preserve_context_registers needs to be tweaked for non-x86 Darwin"
ppc-darwin-os.c:28:2: error: #error "Define threading support functions"

Aha. Running under port -d produces:

Welcome to LDB, a low-level debugger for the Lisp runtime environment.

And it stops there waiting for user input. Probably this is something upstream needs to deal with. As far as I can see, the binary runtime has not been built. Instead, the Lisp is being compiled by a bootstrap compiler which evidently is sbcl 0.9.15:

Does this still happen with the update to 1.0.15?

[gwright@…]

No one has complained about this since the 1.0.15 update, so I'm closing with WORKSFORME.
