I've been having strange problems while trying to do a 'make
buildworld'.  I've done this successfully on another system, so I
believe I may be experiencing hardware problems.  I though I'd ask you
guys to see if perhaps these problems are not hardware related and to
see what I should do.

I use cvsup to keep my tree up-to-date with stable.  I last cvsup'd
earlier today and then tried to buildworld.  Before doing this I
cleaned out /usr/obj.  The first time through the build ended with:

bison  -d /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/../../../../contrib/gcc/bi-parser.y -o bi-parser.c
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/../../../../contrib/gcc/bi-parser.y contains 9 useless nonterminals and 17 useless rules
"/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/cc_tools/../../../../contrib/gcc/bi-parser.y", line 117: Start symbol top does not derive any sentence
*** Error code 1
[...rest of errors omitted]

For the hell of it, I removed /usr/obj and started again.  This time I
got much further.  Then the weirdest thing happened: the buildworld
got hung at this point:

cc -nostdinc -O -pipe -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/cvs -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/cvs/../lib -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/cvs/../../../../contrib/cvs/src -I/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/cvs/../../../../contrib/cvs/lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -I/usr/obj/usr/src/tmp/usr/include -c /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/cvs/../../../../contrib/cvs/src/admin.c

The compile has been sitting there for hours on that file.  The
relevant processes are waiting on the following wait channels:
 1321 root     -6   0  2320K  2124K pipecl   0:00  0.00%  0.00% cc1
 1322 root     -6   0   500K   612K piperd   0:00  0.00%  0.00% as
 1319 root     10   0   216K   368K wait     0:00  0.00%  0.00% cc
  492 root     10   0   452K   276K wait     0:00  0.00%  0.00% make

I tried that specific compile by hand and it worked (terminated) fine.

Any suggestions?  Any more information I should provide?

Thanks,
David
