Unending item build

[Matthias Fischer <matthias.fischer@ipfire.org>]

Hi all,

I'd like to warm up an old problem...perhaps I found something like a
solution.

The original problem is rather old - it dates from 2025-01-15. It still
can be found here:
https://marc.info/?l=ipfire-development&m=173691503411708

Once in a while I experienced the same problem like Jon - building
stopped suddenly: "./make.sh build  goes into a loop and builds an item
forever." And it doesn't matter which item. Either the counter kept
running indefinitely, or it stopped displaying anything at all.

That was pretty annoying. No errors, nothing in the logs. After stopping
the build with CTRL-C and restarting the whole build, usually everything
ran through and worked again as if nothing had happened.

The last message often was just "make: Leaving directory '/usr/src/lfs'"
and that was all.

Lastly I was thinking it might have something to do with counters.
So I changed "while sleep 1" to "while sleep 2" in 'make.sh'. Nothing more.

Since then buildings are running without stopping anymore...

Did anyone had similar problems?

Best
Matthias
