Re: compiling bison-3.0 on AIX 5.3

[Michael Felt]

I ran the command, starting from where I had left off, and all looked well.

However, it never proceeded beyond test 24 - and it seems to be stuck in a
loop that consumes "system" time.

Each line is 15 seconds between the next entry. Initiall with smt2 so the
50% idle is the unused thread. During the test run I turned off the smt
setting (see new header) and %idle goes to zero.

Is there something I can add to see where test #24 is hanging?
