emacs does not configure and ffmpeg does not build if gmake is installed with the +guile variant

[snowflake (Dave Evans)]

I noticed that the buildbots were building emacs without any problems. Here on my machines, there was a problem on El Capitan, but not on Monterey.

There was a segmentation fault during the configure phase. I deactivated gmake and the configure phase completed.

Here is the tail of the log:

Can you attach the crash log?

gmake crash log while configuring emacs on macOS 10.11.6

[snowflake (Dave Evans)]

I've attached the crash log. For some unknown reason this ticket is not shown as modified in the Trac timeline. Maybe it was because I posted it at precisely 1 Jan 2023 00:00:00 UTC.

I've changed the summary of this ticket.

Today ffmpeg needed to be upgraded. The build phase failed with a seg fault in gmake. This was very similar to the error reported when emacs was configuring.

I noticed that gmake was installed with the +guile variant. I installed gmake without the +guile variant and both emacs and ffmpeg now configured and built.

I tested this on both El Capitan and Monterey.

Port versions:

emacs @28.2_1
ffmpeg @4.4.2_4
gmake @4.4
