Port compilation

[Drav Sloan]

Howdy all!

   I'm trying to compile java jdk-1.4 (/usr/ports/java/jdk14). I
have had the same problem with three boxes I've attempted to compile
it on.  It gets through all the first parts of installing the linux
jdk and then just hangs for _DAYS_. The only thing running is java
clocking up hours and hours in the CPU time. The annoying thing is
I've tried it on 4.9 (two differing hardwares, one virtually a
vanilla install of freebeard) and on 5.1. The same thing happens,
as below....

===>  Building for jdk-1.4.2p5
# Start of jdk build
bsd i586 1.4.2-p5 build started: 04-05-12 11:42
if [ -r ./../../deploy/make/Makefile ]; then \
  ( cd  ./../../deploy/make; gmake sanity EXTERNALSANITYCONTROL=true CONTROL_TOPDIR=/u/3/ports/java/jdk14/work/control CONTROL_TOPDIR_NAME=control ALT_OUTPUTDIR=/u/3/ports/java/jdk14/work/control/build/bsd-i586  ARCH_DATA_MODEL=32 MILESTONE=p5 BUILD_NUMBER=root_12_may_2004_11_42 ; ); \
fi

and then I get:

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
88791 root      63   0  6204K 23076K RUN      49.7H 96.18% 96.00% java



I've killed all three compiles as far as I'm concerned sommat is very 
very broken, and I'm sick of the constant 1 bar load on my box and 
no movement from this VERY annoying jdk build.


Has anyone seen this? Any recommendations? Does anybody know of any good
calming techniques?

Regards
