Randomly hang when compiling Cygwin on Cygwin on Wine


Dear folks,

I try to compile Cygwin on Cygwin on Wine in a loop, and found a
random hang. Usually, it happens more than 1/10.

The hang could happen in different processes, including `sh.exe`,
`gcc.exe`, `as.exe`, etc, but the backtraces are all similar.


Here is one example I get now:

(1) `pstree -p -l` suggest the hanging process might has PID 113:
?(1)âââbash(58)âââmake(93)âââsh(89)âââmake(69)âââsh(74)âââsh(61)âââmake(9)âââmake(44)âââsh(129)âââsh(145)âââmake(94)âââsh(130)âââsh(104)âââmake(151)âââsh(113)
     ââmintty(91)âââbash(102)âââpstree(141)

(2) `cat /proc/113/cmdline` show below information:

/bin/sh -c gcc -L/newlib-cygwin-all/newlib-cygwin-build/i686-pc-cygwin/winsup/cygwin
-isystem /newlib-cygwin-all/newlib-cygwin/winsup/cygwin/include
-B/newlib-cygwin-all/newlib-cygwin-build/i686-pc-cygwin/newlib/

-DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"2.2.0\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"newlib\ 2.2.0\"
-DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE_URL=\"\" -I.

lib_a-xdr_float.o `test -f 'xdr_float.c' || echo
'/newlib-cygwin-all/newlib-cygwin/newlib/libc/xdr/'`xdr_float.c


(3) I cd to the build target directory and list all files:
/newlib-cygwin-all/newlib-cygwin-build/i686-pc-cygwin/newlib/libc/xdr$ ls
lib_a-dummy.o  lib_a-xdr.o  lib_a-xdr_private.o  Makefile

The above list result suggest that the build target
"lib_a-xdr_float.o" hasn't been generated, which suggested that the
`gcc` process in the above command hasn't run.

(4) Then I check the file descriptors opened by process 113:
$ file /proc/113/fd/*
/proc/113/fd/0: broken symbolic link to /dev/cons0
/proc/113/fd/1: broken symbolic link to /dev/cons0
/proc/113/fd/2: broken symbolic link to /dev/cons0
/proc/113/fd/3: symbolic link to pipe:[296]

(5) I use gdb to attach to the process 113:

done.

Here are the version information I have:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1  2.2.1(0.289/5/3) 2015-08-20 11:40 i686 Cygwin

$ sh --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.42(4)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

$ wine --version
wine-1.7.53-859-g6ec39dd (Staging)

This bug also happens with latest git version of Cygwin.


It might be either Wine bug or Cygwin bug, but currently I can't go
further, since:
- I can't reproduce this bug with strace.exe
- I also can't reproduce this bug with Wine's relay debug trace, which
records system API calls.

Could you suggest any hints where should I look deeper?

Thanks!
