The test-fork1 failure is still unexplained and happens intermittently.
I have built a lot of unstable on my rp3440. I think this
one causes failures in the thread
testsuites of perl, python2.7 and glib2.0. These are characterized by tests hanging.
There is another class of failures. They typically cause
my rp3440 to crash due
to cache corruption. The GCC libgomp and libatomic-ops testsuite seem to trigger
this one. As I have mentioned, it's the libgomp "for" tests that
The cancellation issues happen in tst-cancel*.
I believe the cancellation issues are toolchain issues and I need to
look into them.
Possibly, this is related to the following bug that I found last week building mpfr-3.1.0:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50691
A call to __tls_get_addr clobbers first argument of call to mpfr_cache. Don't have a
fix at the moment, but there is a simple testcase.
On a different subject, I tried to get udev-172-1 working.
However, this breaks bootstrap
due to an invalid argument in a call to inotify_init. It's somewhat timing dependent since
some kernels will boot if they build enough of /dev before udev messes up. In any case,
I believe that Guy Martin posted a patch a year or so ago to correct an inconsistency
between the glibc and the kernel for some bit definitions. I'm thinking this may fix the
udev problem.
What patch is this? I don't remember it. URL?

ii libc6 2.13-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries
Bug was supposed to be fixed in 2.13-0exp4...
This is the console output:
...
Loading, please wait...
mount: mounting udev on /dev failed: No such device
W: devtmpfs not available, falling back to tmpfs for /dev
udevd[834]: inotify_init failed: Invalid argument

Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
chvt: can't open console

Unfortunately I've never been able to build eglibc with the supposed fix, indeed I'm running an hacked udev on libc 2.11.something.
BTW, how did you successfully build it? you said you build a good part of unstable, I would like to do the same and maybe upload some key packages...
