Recently while (cross)compiling GIMP, I noticed that compiling often hangs for no apparent reason (the CPU usage drops to 0, and it doesn't proceed even if I leave it alone a few minutes). If I Ctrl+C and run gmake again, compiling continues a bit further until it locks up again. It appears that the process that hangs is sometimes sed and other times grep. Every time I Ctrl+C, there seem to be a few more bash processes that stay around. Any idea what could be the cause of these things?
I also had a problem a few days ago, when almost every program would segfault (the only ones that didn't seemed to be those that were originally installed with SFU). This happened to me on 2 different machines (one running XPsp2, the other one 2003sp1), and coincided with me trying to install the gcc-4.0.2 package (which didn't succeed at first on neither machine). After I reinstalled SFU and reapplied all patches, everything started to work again (and I was able to install gcc 4).
The other thing that changed since I last compiled GIMP without problems is that I upgraded from Athlon64 3500+ to Athlon64 X2 4200+.
My system is Windows 2003sp1 Server Standard Edition, 3GB RAM, SFU 3.5 with the following hotfixes: 886655, 887531, 902074, 904358. I'm using bash 3.00.0(2)-release (i586-pc-interix3) as my shell; sed is GNU sed version 4.1.4; grep seems to be from SFU, it's properties give 8.0.1969.1 as version; GNU Make 3.80; I'm compiling GIMP with gcc-mingw 3.4.4, which was compiled with SFU's gcc 3.3.

Did you turn DEP off? (FAQ 2.07)
Also mentioned in FAQ 2.07 is the patch level needed for 2003/SP1 for shell scrips working (Hotfix Q899522 minimum).

DEP is AlwaysOff, and I have Q904358, which should be newer than Q899522 (posix.exe is version 8.0.1969.36), and I'm not having any problems with configure script (also, I don't seem to have problems compiling simpler things, eg. rockbox).

Are you compiling on a local drive or a network drive?
If it's network then which is it: SMB, NFS, ... ?

My first guess would be a problem in the NT kernel and/or Interix subsystem due
to the dual core Athlon X2 you are using.
Multi-cpu issues are a recurring problem in Interix whenever a new
multi-cpu architecture is introduced.
If this is the problem, then Microsoft will have to investigate
and isolate the problem and issue a fix.
In the meantime, you could try one of the old multi-cpu fixes.
For instance, create the registry key
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Services For Unix/ForkWait
which is a DWORD. Set it to a value of 250 for starters.
(valid values are between 0 and 2000).

I also encountered problemes with make when building GCC 4.0.2 or other things. My first try is to use gmake instead! It always runs through where make hangs.

When make or one of it's child processes are "stuck" try doing a "pstat pid"
to see what call it's waiting on. It might point to a fix or at least narrow it down.

Rodney: thanks, I'll try this.
jumphigh: I already am using gmake.

I was compiling something again, and gmake hung. I'm not sure which process hung, so I did pstat on all make children. Here's the result (it's a bit long, so I didn't want to paste it in the forum).

OK, upgrading to 2003-R2/SUA seems to have fixed this problem.
