Description Khem Raj 2025-08-02 16:34:19 UTC

Ran into a failure on master when building gcc-cross today ( target qemuriscv32 )
I think target is not as important. 

Here is the log, sadly there is not much information about name of which command failed when it says "command not found" but a rerun worked ok. So its some sort of race condition on prior tasks I think. Its a highly parallel system using 44 for task parallelism.

ERROR: gcc-cross-riscv32-15.1.0-r0 do_configure: Execution of '/mnt/b/yoe/master/sources/poky/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/gcc-cross-riscv32/15.1.0/temp/run.autotools_preconfigure.207634' failed: command not found

Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2025-08-07 14:37:05 UTC

Khem, can you attach a full copy of the log and the run.do_configure script?


Did you just see this once out of how many builds?

Comment 2 Khem Raj 2025-08-07 16:32:35 UTC

its one out of 100s, the logs are gone by now. but the info above is almost complete, since its full paste of the log file.

Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2025-08-07 19:42:34 UTC

thanks for the summary Khem.

Comment 4 Randy MacLeod 2026-02-12 14:56:29 UTC

Khem is this still happening and do you have any logs or a plan for this bug?

Comment 5 Randy MacLeod 2026-04-15 19:59:29 UTC

Bump to 6.0. 
Please let us know if you still see this on master Khem.

If so, then maybe Sundeep can have someone try running the workflow 
in a loop over a weekend on our 192 core  system to see if the race 
can be reproduced 

or 

we can wait until August 2026 and declare it resolved / works for me.

Comment 6 Richard Purdie 2026-06-04 15:14:16 UTC

Not enough info to reproduce or debug.
